Newbie to MP3s!!

OK, so you probably find that hard to believe, but I've only just really getting 'into' mp3s as I don't really like listening to music on the computer, but I now have just bought a DVD player that plays MP3 CDs, and was wondering how best to use it...

What (in peoples opinion) is the best software for ripping discs, to make audio compliations.

I notice windows media player has an option for copying to HD, but this is in WMA or whatever, but I have done this with some of my CDs, but WMP won't seem to recognise my writer (TEAC CD-W512EB)

The other thing, is my player is a Panasonic XV10, and this says it does not support the ID3 tags - does this mean to work with seeing track names (which the manual shows) each mp3 file will have to be named "<artist> - <Track Name>.mp3 or something?

I assume this will be similar for all DVD players though?

Sorry for the long post, but any help will be appreciated

I use Prassi Primo which does the job fine but Nero is definetely the best.

Depends on a number of things really, like how much effort you want to put into it, and the quality of the resulting files.

I use a program called EAC (exact audio extraction) together with an mp3 encoder called Lame (I use Lame 3.87 but I think slightly newer version are available).

If you want it all in one, get a copy of musicmatch jukebox. There are free and pay versions, but I think the free version still allows you to record 'rip' mp3s. Make sure you get software which supports CDDB, so you don't have to type in the track names, and can usually get them automatically off the internet when you load a CD to rip.

To look for the above, just type the names into Google

Musicmatch Jukebox, definately. I have the pay version because it was included with my Intel MP3 player, but the free version is more than adequate as well. Overall a very good program - The quality of CD -> MP3 conversions in incredible, and the inbuilt burner software is also top-notch
