Track info


I've been ripping CDs for only a couple weeks now and am clueless as to how you get the track info included on the mp3s that I rip from CD. I'm using Windows Media Player to rip the CDs. I think maybe 2 of the 30 I've done so far have included the track information, which is pretty rough considering some of them are relatively newer CDs. I know that personally I hate when I'm trying to listen to a CD and I want to know what the track name is or who is featured and I have to consult the internet to find out.

So please, if anyone has any suggestions or comments, this is the time to leave them. As I'm sure it will making your listening experience more enjoyable.

On a side note, I'm ridiculously horrible at making banners as I've found out in the last few days when trying to make a logo for this blog. If anyone is up to the task, and wants to do me a HUGE favor, I'm sure anybody else's logo attempt would be leaps and bounds better than what I can do. Just remember, stick to the color scheme and I'm not encouraging anyone to do anything too fancy, so keep that in mind. Also, I'd rather it didn't include any rappers faces or whatnot.. Like I say, nothing fancy.

Also this would be a good time for anyone to give any constructive criticism regarding the blog so I can get a rough idea what direction I want to take My Side Of The Tracks. I would really like to get some feedback seeing how I'm new to this and am willing to take all the help I can get.

Thanks, Rip.

I'm really not sure about a good tagger for Windows since I'm a Linux user. As far as the site, excellent stuff. I appreciate the stuff you have upped because a lot of it is harder to find anywhere else. As far as suggestions go, I would just keep up what you're doing because it is really good. Thanks again for all the good stuff.

you should consider itunes.

dude, windows media player is the absolute worst program you could use for cd ripping. you should try cdex instead, it is freeware, rips great mp3s, and will get album information for you from an online database. get it here - http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/. if that doesn't work out for you try eac (exact audio copy) - http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/

I tried that cdex program, couldn't figure it out hah. So if you could explain to me how it rips cd to mp3, that'd be helpful.

I'm going to go ahead and try out itunes and see what I can do. wish me luck!
