Windows Media Player 10 CD Ripping

Change Multimedia Format and Quality

SUMMARY: Change the audio quality and file type of ripped CD audio tracks in Windows Media Player 10.Bookmark and Share

With Media Player 10, you can choose the type of media files created after ripping CDs, as well as the audio quality of the files (the higher the quality, the more room each media file will take up on your hard disk). Plus, with version 10, you can rip files to MP3 format in high quality!

1. Right click on the Windows Media Player title bar, choosing "Tools" then "Options". If you are in Skin mode, just select "Options".

2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, select the "Rip Music" tab.

3. Under "Format", click the pull-down to choose your media type, such as "Windows Media Audio" or "MP3".

4. Unless you chose "Windows Media Audio Lossless", click on the slider bar underneath "Audio quality" to choose between media files of a small size and those with high-quality audio. As you move the slider, the amount of room a ripped CD will take on your hard drive will be displayed.

5. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

Note that when you change these settings, only newly ripped CDs will reflect the new media type and quality. Files from previously ripped CDs will retain their multimedia filetype and quality.
