Creating MP3 music files
Using MusicMatch, you can copy the tracks from a music CD to your computer’s
hard drive as MP3 files. MP3 (MPEG Layer 3) is a standard for digitally
compressing high-fidelity music into compact files without noticeably
sacrificing quality. MP3 files end in the file extension .MP3.
Important If the drive you want to use is not in the modular bay, you
need to swap modules. For more information about
swapping modules, see Changing drives on page 242.
Important Some music CDs have copy protection software. You
cannot copy tracks from these CDs.
