    OK, I'm having some trouble ripping songs off CDs here at work:

    1) I can play CD's fine here on my work computer using the regular CD player and Real Player, but it's real choppy using Windows Media Player

    2) When I try to rip songs onto my hard drive, the play quality from the hard drive is choppy using both Windows Media Player (which I expect) and Real Player (which I didn't expect, since the CDs play fine in Real Player.

    Is there a good, free program I can use to rip songs off CDs? Maybe it's a hardware problem? I'm running Win 2K professional with 128 megs of RAM...

    You just want wav files? Can't you just copy them over?

    I might get that one on Monday. I got the one from Focus off nwo34life's site...It works good, but one quirk it has is that the progress bar stays at 7% until the song is done. Not that big of a deal, but it's a tad annoying not knowing if it's working or not...

    download the free version of MusicMatch Jukebox and you can rip CD's into mp3's... why anyone would want a wav file is beyond me, those files are so huge.

    Yeah I use it too...the good thing about it is you can use it to rip songs and convert from .wav to .mp3, among other things.

    I ended up paying for Audiograbber because it let's me record radio shows based on time, but it can make supposedly 100% fidelity wav files from CD's and one can make MP3's from those wav files.

    I really didn't want to start another thread so I decided to ask this in here. I have some Logitech z64 5.1 surround speakers and whenever I play music it sounds like a couple of the speakers are blown. But If I play a movie they sound awesome. Can anyone help me with this?
