I'm guessing they are on CDs? I would "Rip" them to Mp3 using a program like MusicMatch (http://www.musicmatch.com) it works fine for me. The Mp3 file uses a lot less space then a "Wav" file...

I assume you are meaning ripping CDs to mp3. If that' what you want (and I hope so) then all you need is a ripper that will convert the CD's to mp3. I used to use a program called audiocatalyst, but I don't know where I got it. Do a search on download.com or fileplanet, or any other place you like to download stuff from, you should be able to find on free somewhere. Some CD burning sorftware and soundcard software have rippers built into them, so if you've got one, try that. Good luck!

I haven't tried as hard as I could have, but how do you rip cd's with Winamp? Never got it to do that.

I use CDex 1.30!

I'll second the recommendation for CDex. Musicmatch is OK, but it's way too bloated.

I hear EAC (Exact Audio Copy) is also a good ripping program, but I haven't tried it myself.

I would advise against using Musicmatch, I feel it's nothing more than a bloated turtle, even though it looks nice graphicaly.

Winamp (http://www.winamp.com) is much smaller and does the same trick.
