Yes, higher quality uses a bit more space, but I never
bother and go for the best quality always. Drive space nowadays is pretty
inconsequential.

Subject: Re: Ripping a CD
Randy,
Okay, I've done that and changed to MP3 Thanks.
Now....please explain audio quality. You said "33% is 192kbs. 66% is
256Kbs. and 100% is 320kbs." Is the average quality 50%? Does the
different levels use more space or memory or whatever you call it.
:(
I noticed my default was at 0%. That seemed odd to me but what do I
know?!
I am a real novice here.
Thank you!!

Hi, glad you are figureing it out. In the
player press alt + t then O. Now ctrl + tab to the rip tab. Now tab to
the format combo box and arrow down to mp3. tab until you get to audio
quality. This is a slider that justs gives percentage. 33% is 192kbs. 66% is
256Kbs. and 100% is 320kbs. select one. Now tab to OK and press enter.
You might want to convert the old .wma files as they are not very well
supported. This is done with a different program. It may be easier to just
re-rip them after you change to mp3. On 10/16/2017 4:44 PM, Elaine Young

Hi,
Well, Randy, I kind of have it figured out. I get glimpses of light,
then get lost in the fog.
The first CD I ripped was a non-commercial one which is why it came
up as unknown artist. Then I tried a second one and that one did exactly as
you all said- listed the title, artist and minutes. But..... I was
unable to copy and paste it to a thumb drive.
Also I have to work a bit to understand what format it is- I am
guessing it is not MP3. Thus I have to find my way to how to change
that.....

Hi, did you get this figured out? Brian:
Yeah, like you said though it automaticly pops up with the artist info so
I think even a beginner would just press next to accept the first
option. the WMP part of my instructions was for the mp3 tags so media
players would have the correct artist and song info. Just changing the
file names wont do this. but it has been so long since I messed with a
actual CD things may have changed. God! I remember when I first put
over 200 CD's on my PC When I figured out I could do that. Back then
artists didnt always come up correctly. Sometimes it would have 3
different artists for a CD and I would have to find one of the kids to
tell me witch one it was! LOL On 10/16/2017 12:41 PM, Brian Vogel

If the situation you describe is the case then my approach is
always just to rip it first then do the cleanup on the files ripped
afterward. It's been a very long time since I last had to do
this, but if memory serves, audio CDs that WMP cannot find media
information for will end up under the "Various Artists" folder and get
some sort of generic title like "Album 1". I find it a grand PITA
to try to do the track name creation in WMP so after I get to the folder
for Various Artists I just rename the folder for the album I just ripped
to something that makes sense to me, then I open that folder and go
track by track and rename the individual files. I find file
explorer much easier to use for that task.
Others will, however,
prefer to do it in WMP. It's been so long since I've done
that for any reason I can't even begin to describe the process.
I'd have to get a mix CD that someone made for me and try it
again. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1703, Build
