CD Track(s)
Blaze Media Pro converts CD audio tracks directly to
MP3, WMA, or WAV formats. To convert CD Track(s) perform the following
steps:
Insert an Audio CD into
the CD-ROM drive. (If you have more than one CD-ROM drive you can
select the one you want to use from the Device drop-down list. You can
also change the speed by selecting the desired speed from the Speed drop-down
list but unless you are having problems or specific preferences it is
best to leave the speed at "Default".)
Click "CD Track(s)"
on the Conversions menu. (If you want to get the track titles from
the online CD database make sure the "Retrieve Track Titles
from the CDDB
" option on the window is enabled. Enabling
the CDDB Auto-Save feature will also write the ID3 tag info for you. Note: If
you are behind a proxy server, you will need to enter your proxy information
in order to successfully connect to the CDDB. To
enter your proxy information, select "Use Proxy Server" from
the CD Track Converter's File menu.)
Click "Configure
" on the CD Track(s) converter File menu to ensure that the
settings match your preferences. (Unless you are having problems or want
to define specific preferences, this step
can be skipped.)
Select the
track(s)
you wish to convert.
Select the
format (MP3, WAV, or WMA)
to which you want the selected tracks to be converted.
Select the
desired quality and compression settings
for the output file(s) from the list next to the desired destination format.
(The defaults are automatically selected.)
Click on the Convert button
or select Convert Audio Track(s) from the Actions menu to begin the conversion
process. If CDDB Auto-Save
is enabled the files will be named according to configured Auto-Save
options.
Note:
After your initial conversion, the options selected are saved. Therefore,
for future conversions, you would need to only perform steps 1, 2, 4,
and 7.
Additional features found on the menus include "Configure",
"CD-Rom Type",
"Enable CDDB Auto-Save",
"Configure Auto-Save",
"Select All",
"Invert Selection",
"Play",
"Pause",
"Seek Next",
"Seek Previous",
and "Mute".
Note:
Set the audio format for complete control over file
size/quality.
