Once again thanks Ian.
One last question - if I already have an audio file in .wma format, how
can I convert it to .wav or .mp3 ( BTW I haven't started using CDex as yet
so this might be a premature question - not knowing if Cdex can convert it
to .wav)
You're going through more trouble than six minutes of Donna Summer music may
be worth, but I do understand that it's often worth it just to get an
understanding of how things work so that you can use that knowledge in the
future.
You can convert wma files to mp3 using dBpowerAMP Music Converter with the
wma codec (also available at this site.)

Rather than installing yet another piece of software though, you might be
better off just deleting the wma files of the Donna Summer CD and using CDex
to rip that CD to mp3 or wav, depending on what you want to do to the files
before you burn them. If you rip to wav you can use Audacity to manipulate
that last six minutes of music, and you'll preserve *all* of the original
fidelity. If you rip to high-bitrate mp3, you can trim the final track with
MP3Trim and really, no human ear will ever notice any fidelity difference
because you ripped to mp3 instead of wav.
Regards,
Ian.
