I wanna save tracks from my CDs to my digital audio player. How do I do it?

Question

i tried to save those tracks from CDs to computer and then download them to player but they're not mp3 format but cda intead. how do i change it and what do i need to do?

Answer 1

if you're trying to rip mp3s off a CD then i recommend using db Poweramp - you can download it for free at

http://www.dbpoweramp.com

This allows you to rip CDs in mp3 or wave formats - the *.cda format is only for audio CDs.

there's no point in trying to convert cda files to mp3... its easier to just rip mp3s directly from a CD.

Mp3 is a lossy format, and the loss in quality of the ripped files depends on the bit rate you select to rip the audio at. 128k is the minimum rate i would use for decent quality - as you increase the bit rate you also increase the file size as well as the quality.

once you have the mp3s ripped onto your hard drive, you can transfer them to your player any way you like...

Answer 2

You can use Windows Media player if you want, but those steps are complicated.

I recommend iTunes. It's easy to install and is easy to set up for one-click ripping.

After you have installed iTunes. Click Edit->Preferences and then click the Advanced Tab, then the Importing tab under that. Change 'Import Using:' to MP3 Encoder and set it to the quality you prefer (Good quality allows the most songs to fit onto an MP3 CD if you want to burn one later). Under the General tab, you can set the folder on your hard drive where you want the iTunes library (if you don't want it in the default spot). The library is the location where all of your MP3s will be stored on your hard drive. You only need to do this once unless you have to reinstall iTunes.

Then, insert your Audio CD into the drive. When the CD appears under the library area, click on the 'Import CD' button in the upper right corner of the window. You're ripping the CD to your hard drive. Simple. From this point forward, all you need to do is insert the CD and click 'Import CD' to create MP3 files in your iTunes library.

Then, simply go to the folder where iTunes stored your MP3 files and copy and paste them into your digital player. If your digital player uses a special interface, you will have to copy them through the interface.

you can also copy songs with (window media player 9.0 or later)
with the option of (copy from cd audio track)

detail.........

To copy tracks from an audio CD
Insert your CD into the CD-ROM drive.
Click Copy from CD.
All tracks are selected to be copied if you have not previously copied them from the CD.

If there are any tracks that you do not want to copy (rip), clear the check box next to them.
You can select the check box at the top of the list to clear or select the check boxes next to all tracks.

Click Copy.
The first time you click Copy, a message appears asking if you want to copy protect your music. Click one of the following options:
Copy protect your music
Do not copy protect your music
Read the copyright acknowledgement.
Select the copyright acknowledgement check box, and then click Next.
Click one of the following options, and then click Finish:
To select a different format and audio quality, click Change my current format settings.
To copy tracks using the current format and audio quality, click Keep my current format settings.
If you clicked the Change my current format settings option in the previous step, the Copy Music tab is displayed. Select a different format and specify an audio quality using the slider, and then click OK.
Optionally, you can select the Eject CD when copying is completed check box to stop playback and eject the CD when copying is completed

Copying music from CDs
Copying (ripping) tracks from CDs to Media Library is easy, and you can even listen to your CD while you are copying it. Variables such as the type of CD you are trying to copy and the speed of your CD-ROM drive can affect the quality of the copy. Although you are copying digital information from a CD, you may not get an exact copy. For example, you may notice some minor flaws in the playback, such as faint scratches or pops in the audio. This is normal and is caused by the method your CD-ROM drive uses to read information from the CD. Windows Media Player attempts to correct this if the error correction check box is selected, but you may still notice very minor flaws.

If the Copy protect music check box is selected when you copy the tracks, the tracks that you copy from a CD are protected files. Licenses are required to play these tracks. The license allows you to play back copied tracks on the computer, copy tracks to a non-SDMI-compliant portable device, and copy tracks to a CD.

Note that you should back up your licenses to a floppy disk periodically. If you reinstall or upgrade the operating system while retaining your protected files, your licenses might be lost.

If you want to listen to a CD while you are copying its tracks, you must configure the Player to use digital copying. Depending on how your CD player is configured, there is still a chance you will not be able to listen to your CD while you are copying tracks, especially if you have analog speakers.

Notes

The Player adds volume leveling values to tracks when you copy them.
Your hardware (CD-ROM drive and speakers) determines whether you can copy and listen to tracks by using digital or analog audio. Select the settings that work best with your hardware.
