Thanks Amro. jim From: Amro Bilal Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 7:55 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Do I need to? Well, you should be able to rip the tracks directly to your mp3 player. Connect your player or your memory card first and then specify them as the destination for your ripped tracks.

Hi Jim, Assuming its an Audio-CD, and the tracks are in the native CDDA format, then yes, one would need to rip them into MP3 to play on such a device.

Hi List, I want to copy music from a CD to an mp3 player, do I need to rip the CD first then move that ripped folder to the mp3 player or can I just copy the tracks from the CD to the mp3 player. Your help will be very welcomed. Running win7, jaws12. Thanks in advance. Jim
