Normal cd to mp3
 

I have been trying to copy a normal cd to mp3 format useing Nero but get the mesage incorrect file format can any one tell me what to do I know this is basic stuff to you but can you give a new user a helping hand with out laighing

To rip an audio cd into mp3's I suggest you use such programs as CdEx, EAC, or if you prefer more user friendly stuff; Musicmatch Jukebox or Real One

I llike to use CDex - search Google - it offers a lot of functionality and has the ability to encode at high bitrates for higher quality.

you can used the Exact Audio Copy, search it on google and look if you have the correct aspi-driver

I use Exact Audio Copy for ripping those cda to wav; then LAME for encoding wav to mp3 (for easy, use a front-end).
