Remember trying to import music from your CD collection to your computer with Windows Media Player on XP? Yeah, I prefer not to either. Well, it seems that Vista has caught up to Apple’s software in terms of making it easy to import your CD collection into your music library. iTunes users have long enjoyed the simplicity of inserting a CD and pressing the “import” button, and now Vista offers an option of similar ease.
“Vista: How to Rip Music from CD to MP3 for Free” by computer cookbook Tech Recipes shows you how to use Windows Vista to import a CD into your computer’s music library in just 5 simple steps. Just open Windows Media Player, change a few options, and let ‘er rip.
When importing CDs, be sure to use the MP3 format instead of Microsoft’s various Windows Media formats. Using MP3 ensures that your digital audio tracks will be compatible with the widest range of software and devices.
