Windows+Media+Player+How+to+Rip+a+CD

You probably will have a CD which has some of you favourite music on and would like to copy some onto your hard disc. Well you can using **//Windows Media Player Version 10//** (If you don't have Windows Media Player installed on your computer, you can download it for free [|here]).
 * Windows Media Player How to Rip a CD **

This is termed as **//Ripping//** in other words it takes data in one form and converts it to another. The computer files are saved as .**//wma files//**

Here is how to:- Obviously open WMP and place the CD with the music on into the Computer CD slot, now we can commence.

Normally the CD once it is inserted will begin to play

On a line under the normal Toolbar ( **//File etc.)//** and under the WMP title you will see six tabs:- The Now Playing list should read the music files that are contained on the CD.
 * //Now Playing, Library, Rip, Burn, Sync and Guide//**.

If you select the Rip tab, it will show the same list of songs.



Now supposing you do not want to record all of the CD the procedure is simple if you look closely at the displayed list of the CD’s contents you will see a tick/check against each track All you have to do is remove the tick/check from the tracks you do not wish to record. Simple yes ?

Having made your selection you now click Rip Music Icon on the right-hand of the toolbar

When the program has finished you can eject the CD and the songs that were ripped onto your computer will appear in the **Library**.

Now it is a gas to listen to your favorite songs on the computer.

Of course I should not suggest that you convert these then to MP3 in Jet Audio This is the best Player around particularly the Professional version.

Then with the same program burn them to a CD.

But consider you could take tracks from an assortment of CD’s and compile your own CD for the car, it’s a thought.
