ejh Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 Ok- it's a fact... this is the smartest group of people I know! And I'm having a little problem... For Christmas, I got a Palm Tungsten E. woooot It's supposed to play audio files and all... and yes it does play "mp3s..." but my CDs are not mp3s apparently, they are .cda files... I know it works with mp3s because when I downloaded an mp3 off the internet and put it on the Palm it worked. But when I try to get a ".cda (a track from one of my CDs)" on there it doesn't work. Is there a way I can make the .cdas MP3s? Please let me know if you know the solution!! Thanks all. :hug: Happy New Year! Rock Sign Quote
Nick_ Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 You should use a program such as "CDex" to rip these CD tracks to MP3. You can find CDex here at download.com Quote
ejh Posted December 28, 2003 Author Posted December 28, 2003 Wow! I really appreciate your speedy reply- but, when I opened the program I got that horrible big blue screen telling me that my computer stops now. I uninstalled the program. Are there any other options? Thanks again for the quick response and your effort. Quote
Nick_ Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 Wow...strange...I've never had a problem with CDex on my computers. Anyhow, there are probably thousands of programs to do what you are wanting, go to download.com, search for "rip CD to mp3" and you should get good results. I've only had experience with CDex though, so I'm not sure how to assist on the others Quote
ejh Posted December 28, 2003 Author Posted December 28, 2003 Thanks for your help!! I did what you said and came up with dBpowerAMP Music Converter 10.0. It works very well- I'm "ripping" right now!! Thanks again so much!! Rock Sign Rock Sign Rock Sign Quote
TCH-Don Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 Very strange, I have been using Cdex for years and never had a problem. *http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ Quote
ejh Posted December 28, 2003 Author Posted December 28, 2003 Well, when I downloaded cdex, I read various user reviews. Some of them described the exact same problem that happened to me. So I guess I wasn't all that surprised when it happened. Quote
Hockeypuck Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 I stick with iTunes, now avaliable for both Windows and Mac OS. It rips, and organizes music for a jukebox right on your machine. www.apple.com Quote
