Importing Music into Creative MediaSource Player/
Organizer
To listen to music on Zen Micro, first import music into Creative
MediaSource Player/Organizer, and then transfer this music to your player.
Music can be ripped from your CD collection, or downloaded from Internet
music sites.
Importing music from audio CDs
To get music tracks from your CDs, you will need a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive that can
extract digital audio data. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer reads the audio
information on your CD and convert it to MP3 or WMA files using the bitrate you choose.
The standard bitrate of most MP3 files is 128 kbps, although some are set higher, at 160 or
192 kbps. The standard bitrate for WMA files is 64 Kbps. Using the standard bitrate will
ensure that your MP3 and WMA files retain much of their audio quality. Higher bitrates will
result in larger file sizes, but better audio quality.
The time needed to successfully extract audio from a CD depends on:
■
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive speed
■
defects, like scratches on the audio CD
■
error-checking features on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
■
bitrate selected for encoding
WARNING!
It may be illegal to encode MP3 or WMA files for trade or sale unless you have the
express or explicit permission of the copyright holder(s).
