Hi Katrina, I didn't really change any of the settings. In the rip music option the only thing I checked on was to see in which format the files would be ripped in. I like the W M A format Because of the amountof compression you get. The files are smaller in size than the MP3 counterpart. I'll have to take a look at the rest of the defaults.
