M3PO go
19
From Audio CD to MP3 CD.
Creating your own MP3 CDs to play in the M3PO go is incredibly simple. You need a computer
with a CD burner, software to read the audio CDs, software to convert (encode) the audio
tracks into MP3 format and again software to burn the MP3 files to CD.
One software package that combines al these functions into one interface is included in the
bundle: the full version of MusicMatch Jukebox. The principle method used to create an MP3
CD of your favorites is as follows:
•
Start Musicmatch Jukebox
•
If you can, you should connect to the Internet so that Musicmatch Jukebox can access
CDDB (CompactDisc Database) – then the titles, artist, and album info are automatically
saved as ID tags in the MP3 file(s). Otherwise handwork is required, but even that is in-
credibly easy.
•
Insert the audio CD in the CD ROM drive
•
Stop the automatic CD playback should it start
•
Press the red REC button in the player to start the recorder
•
Choose the title(s) that you wish to encode - by default all titles are selected
•
Start the read and encode process by clicking on the record button in the recorder
•
Burning to CD: In the playlist window select “CD-R”, choose your titles over “Add Song”
and then click on “Create CD”.
•
That's it. Put it in the M3PO go, and have fun.
A few further remarks:
A soundcard is not necessary to transfer the files to PC, as the data is sent directly over the
IDE cable in data form.
Keep in mind: In order to use the M3PO go comfortably and easily navigate through your MP3
CD's, before you burn a CD you should take a second look at the functionality of the EDA sys-
tem (Chapter “Better not lose the overview: the EDA system.” on page 11). Dedicated burner
software is also recommended, as Musicmatch Jukebox doesn't offer any option to create
folders.
So much for theory, now to the practical application and the next chapter: The Musicmatch
Jukebox Crash Course.
