Cannot make mp3 files from cds
I have Roxio EZ CD & DVD Creator 6....It used to work just fine until recently...clicked on "Creator Classic", I inserted a CD into the CD/DVD drive to make mp3 files. The Roxio screen headings show FILES CURRENTLY ON CD shows the correct number of music files (in this case 20), SIZE-shows 1 KB for each track, TYPE- cd audio track (for each track), DATE MODIFIED shows date cd was recorded (I guess), and LOCATION-"files currently on cd" for each track.
My computer came with Roxio (the basic one that comes with computers), so I deleted it and installed this one..which I like a lot better, but when I tried to make mp3 files, the above it what I get. yesterday, I uninstalled and reinstalled it again attempting to "repair" the problem...but it still doesn't work. I hope you can help me. Thank you!

Don't bother using Roxio for this - use Windows Media Player 11.
1. Open Windows Media Player
2. Run the mouse over the "Rip" tab - a small aroow should appear underneath the word "Rip" - click on the arrow and a drop-down should appear.
3. Select - "Format" - change to "mp3"
4. Now insert your CD and press the Rip button - by default, Windows Media Player will store the mp3 files in the My Documents --> My Music folder
Now use Roxio to make a CD out of the Mp3 files
Good luck!

Let me shed some more light on the situation, so you can better understand my response. You said that the files showed up as "CD Audio Track" - any program that copies files from CD to your computer will, by default, copy these files as "CD Audio Track" (also known as .CDA format) - this is normal. Your problem is that you need to convert those CDA files on the CD into mp3 format. Unless you can figure out how to convert those files to mp3 format using your version of Roxio, you will need Windows Media Player to do the conversion FIRST, and then use Roxio to make CD's that are in mp3 format. That is why I suggested using Windows Media Player.
