Re: converting files from a CD to mp3 using the Windows Media Player withWindows 7
Hi Steve, Hey, I find that what ever way works, then that is the way to do it until something easier or better comes along. Windows Media Player always gives me fits if I want to do more than just play a file or CD. What ever works is good enough. Lord knows some programs are just not that Screen Reader friendly and any way a person can get them to cooperate and work, is good. I use Gold Wave to do most everything. Others use Total Recorder. Others use the program Butch mentioned. For me, I do have days when I enjoy learning new software, but those days don't come along very often. Usually, I am in a Hurry and I don't have time to fight with some program that chooses that moment to not work with my screen reader. Or not do as I thought it did last time. Leaving me to figure out that I have suffered from an unseen or unnoticed Update. People ask me, when should I Upgrade. And I tell them Upgrade when the newer program has a feature you are willing to pay the price of an upgrade for. If the current software is working fine and doing everything you need it to do, going for the upgrade could be a waste of time, money, and might end up giving you less accessibility than more. Which seems to be how a lot of the Upgrades are hitting me these days. I end up with less.

RE: converting files from a CD to mp3 using the Windows Media Player withWindows 7
I have also had pretty good luck with Windows Media Player, although I would agree with Dave that it isn't always obvious what one should be doing with that software. I wanted to mention, though, that if one is going to rip a number of CD's, there is a check box that will cause CD's to be ripped automatically and converted into the format that is chosen. Also, if you are focused on the Now Playing window, and you can get there with CONTROL 3, there is a "Rip" button there as well. Of course, this is not meant to imply that there is anything wrong with bringing files into Gold Wave or other editor, I have just found Windows Media Player to work well once I figured out what to do.
