Can Nero 8 rip audio CD's into mp3's?

If so then which Nero 8 program does this? I remember that Nero 7 could do it.....

 

not sure but probably

windows media player does! and its free with your OS

 

Yes but I'm trying to rip audiobook CD's into mp3's & don't need the lowest speed 128k quality that WMP encodes at. 64k would be great however WMP won't rip at that bit rate. Oh well I've already ripped 7 books with WMP 11 and they sound great in Winamp....

 

give audacity a free app ago, not got time to check it now as work calls

but that app is dam awesome!

You can also try CDex.
And then there's my favorite, Exact Audio Copy.

 

Windows media player can rip at 64k or have I read your reply wrong?
Start windows media player tools-options-copy music-and move the slider down

 

Nope, that doesn't work with WMP 11. Options (under rip) only allows you to go down to 128k as the smallest size. I can be happy with that. The fact is I'm used to getting audiobook mp3 rips done at 64k from other sources & I thought perhaps there was a way to rip at that bitrate. Since the rips I'm making are just for me then 128k will be fine.

Still haven't figured out to to rip mp3's from CD's with Nero 8 though......

 

I see I was referring to windows media player 10 stupid they don’t allow it with media player 11 though don’t use Nero for MP3 so sorry got no answer on that

 

Is your version of Nero an OEM copy i.e. came with your burner or is it a full version
Read this might be some help

I have a full version of Nero 8 bought from Nero's web site. Nero Waveditor will save in mp3 format with no problem however I can't find any part of Nero that will rip a CD into mp3 format. Maybe they took it out?

 

I didn't put Smartstart on my PC so which Nero program is it using for this?

 

not sure cant find it otherwise?

may have to load it in, but dont see any options for 64k

only normal size mp3 or small size mp3, whatever small size is?

 

OK, I'll stick with the Windows Media Player for the CD rips. It seems to be fine for that task.

 

It was either me (no I wasn't offended) or Microsoft....

 

You’ve lost me ddp did you read the post with your eyes open my friend? I said it’s stupid they don’t allow you too select lower then 128k in windows media player 11

 

Yes & I wish I could select 64k however 128k is alright since I'm not distributing the books to anybody.

 

Ok as long as you’re happy and you didn’t think I was calling you stupid see ddp we are buddy’s I only slag people off if they piss me off and I chuck more then stupid into the conversation when they do be good

 

No you were calling Microsoft stupid for dropping 64k encoding in WMP 11. And yes we can be good friends if you like. So have a nice day.....
