1. Insert your
music CD into the computer and launch the software that you are using to
extract songs from CDs.
2. Find recording
options in the software and ensure it is set to record in MP3. For example,
Windows Media Player saves music from CDs in WMA format by default, but you
should change it to MP3 for better compatibility with phones and portable audio
players.
3. If you are
going to listen to the music on your computer, or on a portable music player
later on, save the music in high-quality MP3. Set the compression ratio or
audio quality to at least 128Kbps. If this music is intended for your phone
only, you can specify lower quality, higher compression ratio to save memory on
the phone.
