Importing Music into Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 22
The time needed to successfully extract audio from a CD depends on:
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive speed
defects, like scratches on the audio CD
error-checking features on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
bitrate selected for encoding
To rip an audio CD using Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer
1 Click Start Programs/All Programs Creative Creative MediaSource
Creative MediaSource Organizer.
2 Insert an audio CD into your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive.
3 In the Sources window, select [d:] Audio CD (replace d: with the drive letter of your
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive).
4 In the Task bar, click the Rip Now button.
TIP
If you have an Internet connection, you can set Creative MediaSource Player/
Organizer to automatically retrieve track information about the tracks being ripped,
instead of manually entering this information. For more information about this
feature, refer to Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer’s online Help.
The default bitrate for ripping to MP3 or WMA files is 128 kps and 64 kps
respectively. Higher bitrates yield better audio quality but result in larger file sizes.
To change the default bitrate, refer to the Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer
online help.
