Merlin Orr Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Anyone converted an audio CD to MP3 format? What's involved in doing so? I have Lanny Basham's Mental Management for Shooting Sports and would like to load it on my iPod.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.roberts Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 All you have to do is set iTunes (I'm guessing, since you mentioned an iPod) to import from the CD in .MP3 format Go to: Edit Preferences General Tab Import Settings Import Using - MP3 Encoder And then put the CD in the drive etc. Then load on your iPod, and you should be good to go.

Merlin Orr Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks... To keep them straight I guess I need to create some sort of folder for each CD as each has 6 or so tracks and they are all named 1- 6...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.roberts Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Actually, it might import them as Disc 1, 2, etc. and then Track 1-6 within each disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 If you're on windows try the media player - it'll bring them down as album/song (but it's an option for you). I never like the way iTunes does it. It always seems to name the songs ZAQW.mp3, Media Player will name it the name of the song, easier to find later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgnoyes Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 When I've imported CD's into iTunes, he goes out and hits the net to somehow determine the titles of the tracks and, when he finds a match, changes them appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 I ended up using the Windows Media Player, per BerKim's suggestion, and it was really simple to copy to Mp3 format and save the tracks on the Larry Basham CDs to file. The saved files show the CD number and track number so they should work as I want..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgnoyes Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 A well timed article about using iTunes to do this appears here: http://www.macworld.com/article/156861/2011/01/howto_rip_cds.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
