How can I record my music cd's onto my computer hard drive

[EdReid]

when I put a cd into the computer it plays the cd but I would like the option of having a library of music on my hard drive. Can anyone tell me where I need to go to download the information that will allow me to record music to my hard drive.

Most of the major media players out there (realplayer, windows media player, etc.) give you the option of adding cd music to a "library" on your hard drive. If you are connected to the internet at that time, the player will download the artist and track info for you so you don't have to manually type in the information.

There's a good freeware CD 'ripper' (rips tracks off CD into wav or mp3 format) called cdex available at

Be careful with this option as you are just plugging into "Uncle Bill's" database and he gets another peek into your computer.
