MP3 help

[ILC]

Alright, I used Real Jukebox to record the songs off of the CD, but now how do I covert it to wav or mp3 format. I tried using winamp to convert, but it doesnt read the realjukebox format it has. Please anyone?

You should be able to burn songs directly off the cd into a variety of formats. Look at some of the options. Or you could use Winamp to do the job.

Hi ILC,

Open RealJukebox...

Select Tools -> Preferences

Under the Audio Quality tab, deselect the Checkbox beside, "Secure my music files when Encoding"..

Hope I've Helped http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

I have the utility from http://www.cdex.n3.net

It takes files off the CD, and can write them directly to MP3 files, all the way up to 320kbps. I have had trouble with using it on Acer CD drives - the Beta version of the program adds a split-second blast of loud static near the end of the file that'll scare the **** out of you if you're listening to it on headphones.

Anyway, the program is really nice; it can even convert pretty much any WAV file to MP3; and the encoder it uses is about the best I've ever used.

Sorry about the dual posts too; accidentally clicked Submit twice.

Hmmm..........my Beta doesn`t do that!

I have version 1.20 and it works perfect. No loud static at all! Recorded many a CD with this proggy, always perfect, always clear.....

Is that a new "Feature" of the beta`s? LOL!

Ummmmm......dunno if it`s freeware (if it was, I`d post a link here to the ver. I have). You could always contact me by email though!

Am I missing something?

You want to put songs on a cd into mp3 format, right? It's very, very simple. Winamp, Music Match Jukebox and I thought, Real Jukebox could easily do that. Many of you are using other programs to do the same job.

Well, that loud blast of static seems to be limited to Acer drives. I've used the program on a Digital Research CD-RW drive (OTI-Socrates drive), and a generic something-or-other 24x drive - with no static. Hopefully it's just a quirk with the Beta version of the program - my Acer 50x drive has pretty good ripping times.
