do you want just mp3 files or with the graphics? I use cd architect from soundforge(sony) www.soundforge.com phil

audiograbber, cdclone, cdrwin, powerkaraoke... lots of good software for free or faily cheap... check out the other threads where it's discussed a bit more in depth.

Sorry the site was www.sonicfoundry.com,  Flashbax

It looks like a midi karaoke program to me. In fact it is midi karaoke that is in the .KAR format. Shabby audio quality, I have the 2002 version of that software.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. I ended up downloading Audacity and dbPoweramp music converter, but the Audacity only worked for me a short time before it started locking up? I never did get it working right. I was able to record one whole song, but the quality was poor. (cracking, popping, cutting out) Then I was able to take my crappy song and convert it to an mp3, but I'll never use the song, wasn't good enough.
I read a tutorial and one of the requirements the guy mentioned was that I need a high-speed internet connection? Why? The sound recording is done without any extra applications running. Anyhow, I have dial-up, but I don't think that should matter.
I did find a conflicting program in my computer just now that was causing me some headaches posting here I think.....Yahoo toolbar. It had my mouse pointer going ballistic. I deleted it. I don't use Yahoo, my daughter does, but how can that affect my use of Audacity? I don't run the internet while trying to use Audacity.  :no:
I might have to buckle down and buy a new computer with Windows XP and plenty of memory, a better soundcard, etc...
This thing is only 5 years old, but I've had problems with it in the past, more than I want to deal with. I like equipment that works. Not something that has to be tweaked to accept programs that everyone else uses without issues.

I'd appreciate all the info on this Audacity thing I can get though. I don't think it's difficult to use, I just can't figure why it doesn't work for me.  :dontknow:

You be better off recording ith KRISTAL. The reason I still put up the Audacity link is because most people used it as there first recording program. I use mostly KRISTAL to record and mix if the song is for subing to  this site.

Thanks Badsinger?
I'm not comfortable calling you that.

Were you ever able to determine how to convert to MP3 files from CDs. if so would you please respond and let me know. thanks.

I use AUdiograbber and have had zero problems with it. Best thing is that it is freeware.
