Downloading from the internet

To get MP3 files from the Internet, use a search engine to locate sites with MP3 content. You can also try out these sites (web sites listed here are correct at the time of this document’s release):

It is illegal to encode MP3 files for trade or sale unless you have the express or explicit permission of the copyright holder(s).

Follow the instructions on the site and download the music files to your computer.

The first phase in making an MP3 file is extracting audio data from an audio CD. To extract audio data, you will need a CD-ROM drive that can extract digital audio data, and a program known as a Ripper. With Creative MediaSource Organizer, you can rip tracks from most audio CDs. This program uses the CD-ROM drive to read the audio tracks from the audio CD and stores it on your hard disk.

The time needed for a successful audio extraction depends on:

❍CD-ROM drive speed

❍defects, like scratches on the audio CD

❍error-checking features on the CD-ROM drive
