Pam, I know what you mean and you won't get an argument fro me regarding Windows Media Player sometimes changing or even being hard to figure out sometimes. Unfortunately, over the years, I've made other choices only to find that they changed and even became unuseable sometimes. My point only was that WMP, if you figure it out, can go right from CD to MP3 and it is already right there. For example, some years ago, and I don't remember which software it was now, but all of a sudden it stopped being able to get CD information because of the CD database changing. It is nice that there are options.

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.

Before ripping the cd onto your hard drive, while in Media Player, press Alt-T for tools, O for options. Shift tab to the tab controls and right arrow to the rip tab control. Now tab to the format combo box and select MP three. Tab to OK and press Enter. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+fenderwal=sbcglobal....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Kim Lingo via Talk Sent: Sunday, December 25, 2016 10:39 PM To: Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: converting files from a CD to mp3 using the Windows Media Player withWindows 7 I've been trying to convert a CD to mp3 format using Windows media player that comes with Windows 7. I'm finding it a good bit more difficult than it was with XP. Does anyone have any ideas?
