Question: How does one convert music on vinyl albums to electronic (e.g., MP3) versions? What equipment is needed? What are the basic steps to get it done?

I'm having the same problem as 'Tanz', I've tried to burn a CD but it will only copy the first two tracks. I've tried different files and even using iTunes but it doesn't like it. Help!

I am interested in burning DVD's, can you recommend one for me? I have Windows XP Home and am using Firefox 2.0.0.12 and IE 7.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Recommend what?

I ripped 4 CDs with Windows Media Player 11. The idea is to burn them all onto a DVD. This does not happen! It will not burn to a DVD. Any advice how to rip onto the computer and then burn to a DVD. It must be simple, but it beats me!!

EDITOR'S NOTE: You didn't give me a clue what the problem was... What happened when you tried to burn the DVD?

Ok, I'm a complete novice. What is the difference between ripping and burning and when should each be used? I'm afraid to even purchase an MP3 player because I won't know how to work it after spending $$$$.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Did you read the article? Ripping is taking songs OFF a CD. Burning is putting them ON a CD.

my problem is my computer is only ripping 2 tracks then stopping.

I have windows media player 11 and real player as well. I can rip the CD and then when i try and burn it it stops on the 2nd or third song. It will say to check the cd for damage or to make sure it is clean or try a slower recording speed. I have done both of these and it still does it. WHY? I have tried CDR an CD-RW and two different brands and i get the same message. I did have windows media player 10a dn i downloaded and updated to version 11 but that did not help. I went to real player and tried to burn and it does the same there too. please help.

I had media player 10 and can rip the music but not burn it. It will stop on the 2nd song and say to check the disc for damage or choose a slower recording speed. I did change the recording speed to fast and medium and then went and bought new disks too. I have tried both cdr and cdrw and get same message. I updated to media player 11 and I still get that message. I tried to burn on Real Player and it does the same thing there too. What is wrong? Please help.
