Chris: Thanks for the info on ripping cds, that made it quite simple. The only odd thing I have noticed after ripping three or four cds is file naming problems. After rebooting, I can rip one cd to mp3 and all works fine. My mp3 files are placed in a folder that has the name of the artist and album. Each individual mp3 file is named with the track number, artist name and the track name. If I don't reboot and burn another cd, the folder and individual files are not named properly. Winamp literally names the folder "artist - album." Similarly, each track has a name like "01 - Artist - Track 1.mp3." If I reboot the system and rip the same album, everything works fine and the files are named properly. Is this a Winamp bug? Has anyone ever encountered this before? Jim

Subject: Re: Winamp Pro Hi jim Let me put your questions first and then I'll try to answer them as best I can. At 09:16 PM 2/3/2005, you asked: >Do I just download the upgrade for the free version to upgrade the >pro version to this version? When you purchased Winamp pro, you should've received an e-mail containing a registration key which you can then enter into Winamp full to make it pro. You can do this in the preferences under the Winamp pro section which is all the way at the top. The really cool thing about all this is that when you upgrade to the next version, you can download and install either the pro version or the most recent full version, which as you said is 5.08. So, let's say you downloaded, and registered 5.03. If you did,then yes, you can download and install 5.08 right on top of your existing version and everything will remain the same. What Nullsoft did was pretty cool. When you registered Winamp pro, a key is placed in your system registry that remembers your registration info, so even if you upgrade it still stays there. You then said: > Also, Winamp claims that the Pro version can >rip audio from cds. Anyone know the keystrokes necessary to do this? I >don't see it in the menus. It's not actually in the menus. It's actually in the media library, which is available by pressing alt plus l. you'll then get a tree view you can move up and down in and then you should be able to see your drives, or drive if you only have one. it should say something like, cd d: or cd E: depending on which drive letter they are. then if you tab over, you should see a listing of the tracks that are on the cd in your drive, this is of course assuming you have one in there. If you do then if you press your tab key a few times you should see a rip button. when you press this, a context menu will appear and the first choice will be rip all tracks. press enter on this and then the ripping process starts. Unfortunately, even on my pretty fast 3.06 G hertz p 4 machine, the process took a lot longer than I would like. So for ripping cd's, it is slow. I hope they address this in a subsequent release. By the way, you can determine which format your cd is ripped into and other things like where your files will go in the preferences in the cd ripping section of the tree view. Hope this helps. >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] .org]On Behalf Of Gary Wood >Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 6:13 PM >To: PC audio discussion list. >Subject: Re: Skype Version 1.1.0.79 is Available > > >Skype is a kind of internet telephone, where you use your microphone to talk >with people from around the world. >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Fazil M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "PC audio discussion list.
