How to Save Music as an MP3?
- 1). Insert the music CD you want to covert to MP3 into your computer's optical drive.
- 2). Open Windows Media Player. If you don't have Windows Media Player already installed on your computer, you can download and install it from the link in Resources.
- 3). Right-click on "Rip" in the title bar and select Format > MP3.
- 4). Click "Rip" to begin the process of converting the WAV files on your music CD to MP3s. It will take up to 10 minutes to convert all the files on a typical CD.
- 5). Find the MP3 files in your Music folder. You can change the folder Windows Media Player uses to save your file by right-clicking on "Rip" and selecting "More Options."
