An article for newcomers to The World of Mp3

Hello again,
This will be my second post, and to start things up,I thought that an article which provides an intro into The World of Mp3 would be appropriate. Here goes!
Turn CDs into MP3 files
It's inevitable: One day, you'll find that downloading MP3s from the
Internet just isn't enough. You'll want to start doing your own
encoding--after all, who has better taste than you? One great reason to
get into MP3 encoding is so you can put together an online mix and
send the location to your friends. But whatever your reason, you'll need
to be able to encode MP3s for free and without a lot of undue hassle. Required Attention Span: 1 minute to 3 minutes per songBefore you start, you'll need to gather these elements:CDs CD-ROM drive MusicMatch Jukebox Follow These Simple Steps: Step OneDownload and install MusicMatch Jukebox. There are other options, but
at present it's the easiest way to encode MP3s at high quality without
paying for registration. Step TwoQuit all other programs and run MusicMatch. Allow the software to
perform whatever diagnostic tests it wants to on your CD-ROM drive and
system. The more accurately it knows the read speed of your drive and
your computer's system resources, the better it will be at ripping your
CDs. Step ThreeClick the Record button on the player to open the encoder and insert an
audio CD into the CD-ROM drive. MusicMatch will sync up with the CDDB
to find the names of the tracks, which will be automatically turned into
ID3 tags in the MP3s you're making. This makes them easy to identify
after they're converted. Step FourGo to the Options menu and choose Recorder/Settings. In the Recording
Quality section, choose the bit rate at which you want to record. For
CD-quality sound, we recommend setting the bit rate at 128 kbps (or
higher if you think better sound is worth larger file sizes). Step FiveCheck the boxes next to the tracks you want to encode. Click the Record
button to begin encoding. Don't use your computer for anything else
while encoding, or else you risk adding skips to your MP3s. Step SixAfter you're done encoding, the file is ready to be archived in your music
collection, sent to friends, or uploaded to a Web page.
