Do I need a special program to do this? I'm almost positive I do. If so . . what is a good one? ASIDE: A friend called me because he put file straight from this CD to his MP3 Player. . .now the file is locked and he cannot take it off his MP3 player and of course .. cannot play it either. I am unsure how to unlock his file for him. Any Ideas. Beyond unlocking this file I want to let him know how to convert the files Rocket River I have to explain that it is a 'MP3' Player . . not a every music file player.
I use Cool Edit Pro (AdobeAudition) which is a program for all sorts of music editing. Whatever you use you want to convert your music file (.wav) to an MP3 file. After you save music track to your hard drive, if it is not converted, you can usually "save as" an MP3. You may be able to accomplish this on you media player. I hope this helps...
http://www.download.com/CDex/3000-2140_4-10226370.html this is what I use to convert .wav(raw audio) to mp3. its freeware, and quick and easy to use. now...about the unlock/lock problem, Im not real sure what you mean, so if this doesnt help we'll try again.
http://bladeenc.mp3.no/ Free, DOS-oriented encoder. Cleaner than most commercialized encoders. You can drag-n-drop WAV files onto it and do special parameters to name it. Download iTunes (www.itunes.com). You can rip a CD and through the options choose MP3 to encode the files that go to your iPod. You don't necessarily need to use iTunes to listen to the files.
audiograbber (freeware of course) is really customer friendly, just put in your cd hit the grab button and that´s it....
