Bruce, how's this. Clear enough? I'm really working on my compositional skills. If I ever get out of community college English, maybe I'll grow up to be a published journalist and writer. But that's a long way off. First I have to learn how to write like an end user manual. But I'm working on it, you can tell my old teacher Professor Molson.IA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

The basic answer to this is that Nero does offer a "ripping" capability, but only if you purchase that function after trying it out for free thirty times. The more frugal approach might be to download and learn to usethe freeware program CDex, which will allow you to do exactly what you're thinking of. There are people on this list who can give you expert advice on learning to use CDex, which is very popular. Then your main use for a program like nero or others will be for *creating* your own CDs eeither from those tracks you've "ripped" to .mp3 files, or by copying other CDs. But for what you're describing, CDex would be a good idea. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shannon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

With that program can you save tracts of music on your computer as MP3 or whatever to then send on to others. I mean tracts from CD that then can be sent? I realize that a lot of you are proficient at this but am new at it so appreciate any help and suggestions for settings etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Olesen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
