Creating WMA and MP3 music files using Windows
Media Player
Important
Some music CDs have
copy protection
software. You cannot
copy tracks from these
CDs.
Using Windows Media Player, you can copy the
tracks from a music CD to your notebook’s hard
drive as WMA or MP3 files. WMA and MP3 are
methods for digitally compressing high-fidelity
music into compact files without noticeably
sacrificing quality. WMA files end in the file
extension WMA, and MP3 files end in the file
extension MP3.
To create WMA or MP3 files:

drive.
