How do I transfer audio from Learn to Speak Spanish Deluxe to MP3 player ? I wondered if I had to rip the audio CDs to Windows Media player and then download to MP3 player??

The product description indicates it is a computer program on a DVD rather than an Audio CD with tracks you could rip. GG is right that the program, Audacity, plus Lame.dll is probably the best way to convert various things to mp3s. Audacity is free, open source, works well, and under most setups can also record your computer's audio output. Perhaps that's the only way you could extract audio from a program and convert to mp3, but I think it's supposed to be interactive.

I ripped the CDs using Windows Media Player, mostly in .mp3 format, to my "my Music folder". A folder with the CD title was created for each CD with the individual song as a file in that folder. I then copied the CD folder to the SDRAM and the player sorted it out and played the music. It will also accept a USB thumb drive, but the SDRAM takes up less phsical space.

It did not.... but everything I load I convert to mp3 anyway so I can play it on any device. Btw .... I love these players. I have 3. I bicycle, motorcycle, camp, etc. ..... use them all the time!

nope!! you can go to audible's website to confirm but I have tried repeatedly - not able to convert... unless you copy it to a cd and then copy to the player

I received this MP3 player as a gift and also really wanted to play audio books on it. Unfortunately I waited too long to try out that feature. From what I can tell it will download and play MP3 audio books but NOT WMA audiobooks which is most of what my library has. Its too late to return it... even if I wanted to go through the hassle of trying to return a gift. So I guess I'll give this to my daughter and go back to looking for a player that will play my books. Good Luck!

If you open windows media player when your mp3 player is plugged in...there will be a lil like mp3 player shown on the right...and it will say sync..all you have to do is drag and drop your mp3's from wherever they are on your computer to the right under that mp3 player like icon and when you are done hit sync. But for me I am running windows vista all mine does is bring up a box and ask if I want to open the files on mine and I just drag and drop my music files straight to my mp3 player and thats it.

Just like any other MP3 player - all I did was upload music I had already dowloaded onto my destop. I never download direct to the player from a site. I like to check that the download works properly first on my desktop before saving it over. Hope that helps.

Actually on Windows, I convert my CD's to mp3 using the included Microsoft Media Player. Under the "rip music" tab in the preference you can select the format as "mp3" and dial up the "Audio Quality" to as much as 320 bps. Once set in preferences it runs automatically every time I stick in a CD. You don't need to add software to do this. For me the sound quality seem great ... but do note I am no longer a young person and my hearing is not what it used to be ... so this particular part of my opinion should be taken with that in mind.

thanks for the reply.. I ended up buying the sansa shaker mp3 player (I liked the idea of having a speaker option), for my 8 yr old niece this Christmas. I wish I didn't. It seems that if you have a Mac, and buy music on iTunes you, can't transfer it to an mp3 player, unless it is an iPod. ITunes music is in AAC format... you can't change it mp3 format. Mac apparently says that the sound quality is better.. I'm not so sure, and I am definitely disappointed that Mac doesn't at least give you the option. I'll just continue to let her use my old 2nd generation iPod.

The manual says to create your playlist in Windows Media Player and then transfer over to the Sansa player.http://mp3support.sandisk.com/sansa/UserManual/CLIP/CLIP_UM_English.pdf

I just put songs on the mini disc. I do not know how to navigate on the mp3 to establish different playlists. Look on youtube and possibly there will be a how to video there?

you CAN use your itunes card for your mp3. It will just take a little more effort. Once you purchase music on Itunes, burn it onto a regular audio disk, (one that will play in a stereo - not mp3), then reimport the disk into itunes as mp3 (see under itunes preferences, importing. Have fun with the tunes.

Thru tips learned here, I finally figured out the "secret." Hours of frustrating reading and trial runs later: WMA Audiobooks are not compatible with the Micro SD -- MP3 format only -- transferring from Overdrive is done outside of the Sansa Clip, direct to the Micro card -- insert the Micro (in its carrying sleeve) into the computer slot; when it is recognized by Overdrive, transfer as usual, listen by inserting the Micro into the Sansa Clip. MP3 format is a drag -- takes twice as much space as WMA, but seems to be the only game in town.

Sorry David, We do not use MP3 player. We only use CD's. The CD player exceeds our expectations. Bob D.

i know you can paste it into media player, which i would think would transfer to your mp3. i have burned a disc, so it should go to mp3.
