*** Note - there is no difference between empty audio and data CD! It is only a marketing trick that should force you to give more money for the same kind of media!

 

Software needed:

AudioGrabber (my freeware package including Lame encoder)
www.audiograbber.com-us.net (official package is without Lame encoder)

CoolEdit 96 (now Adobe Audition) (shareware, old version but it will not expire and it will allow you to save recorded song)
www.adobe.com/products/audition

WinAmp (freeware)
www.winamp.com

Nero (shareware)

What Is MP3

MP3


MP3 is, let's make it simple, compressed wav file by certain procedure called encoding. Important thing about it is that it could be almost 100% of audio CD quality. It means that song that requires 70 MB on audio CD you can save on your computer as 7 MB file or more. Quality of sound is really great!

CD

Copying Music From CD To MP3

MP3


1. Insert audio CD into CD/DVD Rom. Now you need CD ripper, meaning program that will copy songs from audio CD to your hard disk in wav format and encode it into mp3. To do that choose AudioGrabber. If you download it from my site, in zip file you'll find two files - AudioGrabber and lame_enc. Install AudioGrabber and put lame_enc.dll into the same folder where you installed AudioGrabber. Default folder is C:/audiograbber.

Run AudioGrabber. Click button MP3. Check MP3 file via intermediate wav file. Delete the wav file. Under "Internal encoder" select LameEnc.dll. Drag bitrate slider to at least 192, but I would reccomend 320 (bigger file, but better quality). Check Stereo and click OK. Check buttons Norm. and MP3.

To choose where to store mp3s, click Settings > General Settings... > click Browse, select folder and click OK. Mark songs that you wanna copy, write names of songs and singers. If it it original audio CD, click Freedb. If that CD is in database, it will write singer and songs automatically.
That's it! Just click GRAB!, and you got your songs as MP3s after some time!

There are several options that you might wanna use, just explore this program, you will not regret it.

2. Second step is to run WinAmp and listen to what you have done.

This possibility is little bit more complicated than the previous one, but it's not a big deal. If you, can't find certain songs, this is the solution.

1. Connect with cable outputof gramophone or tape player and input (line in) of soundblaster .

2. Run CoolEdit 96. In the bottom of program you'll see two tracks jumping from left to right. Those are loudness indicators. Notice digit 0. Tracks must jump till 0, but they must not reach 0 because you'll get sound witch will not be correct.
One more thing: click small yellow loudspeaker in system tray (it is positioned at right bottom corner of your monitor). Select Options / Properties / Recording. You must put mark in in white squared field under "Line Input". It means that you selected music source that will be connected to input of your soundblaster (line in).
Play song from record or tape. In CoolEdit 96 go to Options and mark Monitor VU Level. Now two red tracks have to jump according to the rhythm of the song. Loudness on the gramophone or tape player must be set to the value when red tracks will come near 0, but not over it. I suggest that you set loudness in the way that tracks reach only -3. You're safe in this way. Now go to File > New and choose 44100, Stereo, 16 Bit.
Play the song you wanna record from gramophone / tape player again, click Record button in CoolEdit 96, and recording starts. When recorded song is over
and tracks didn't pass 0, you can save that song in certain folder in wav format (Windows PCM).

3. Now run AudioGrabber. How to set it up check under Copying Music From CD To MP3. Click MP3 button and find where it says "Create an MP3 now". Click "Browse", choose song(s) that you wanna have in MP3. You did it! Songs are stored in folder.

4. Fourth step is to run WinAmp and listen to what you have done.
