Hi Vicsonians,

OK, I have been having all kinds of email issues for the past few days so 
I don't know where the thread about ripping CDs and .cda files started, 
ended, or uhh, existed?

Anyhoo, inserting a CD in to your drive and copying and pasting the .cda 
files on to your harddrive will not let you listen to the tracks once 
you've removed the CD.  .cda files are representations of the tracks on 
the CD; they are not Audio Files.  Copying them is not 'ripping'.  So, the 
best thing ya can do is delete them.

What ya need to do is 'rip' the CD with something like Windows Media 
Player, or Real Player, or CDEX, or one of those.  You should choose from 
your program to rip to .wma or .mp3, choose your compression level, and 
you're in business.  Far as I know, it's pretty handy to do in Windows 
Media Player, but I don't have that on this machine.  All I have here is 
nasty work stuff.

If whoever it was has any issues with ripping their CDs, get in touch and 
I'll try and figure out how to do it once I'm at home with Windows Media 
Player in front of me... or CDEX, ah jasus, ya know what I mean!

Right, tea time.

Best wishes,

Tony
