Making Music CDs Using Easy CD Creator
Converting a Track to a WAV or WMA File
Easy CD Creator allows you to save tracks on an existing music CD
to your hard disk drive. You can name the tracks you save, select the
format (WAV or WMA), and select the format quality (for example,
CD Quality).
To convert a track from an existing music CD:
1 Start a new music CD project. From the File menu, point to
New CD Project, then select Music CD Project.
2 Insert the music CD that contains the music track you want to
convert into your CD-ROM drive (the source drive) and allow
the CD to spin-up.
3 In the Select Source Files drop-down list box, select the
CD-ROM drive containing the music CD; a list of the tracks on
the CD appears in the Source window.
Note: If information about the music CD is found locally on
your hard disk, the CD title, artist name, and the name of
each track are displayed in the Source window. If this
information does not appear, and you have access to the
Internet, click Name to download the information from the
online music database.
4 In the Source window, select the track you want to convert.
5 Click Convert. The Convert Audio Track(s) dialog box
appears.
6 In the Save In drop-down list box, select a location for the file.
7 In the File Name text box, type a name for the file.
8 In the Save as Type drop-down list box, select the format type:
■ WAV
■ WMA
9 In the Format drop-down list box, select the format quality you
want for the file and click Save. The available options vary
depending on your system. In general, higher quality settings
result in larger file sizes.
