No, really ?

So don't use it. There are plenty freebies around that do an execellent job.

To encode and manipulate sound files :

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

To rip CD's :

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ (don't forget to download the LAME
encoder/decoder from the SAME site)

or

http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/

I could go on zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ....................

Google would have been your best friend, but !

BTW, my version of WMP11 can rip mp3's ...... However, you can use excellent
freeware to change/add tags :

MS didn't want to bother for there are many free ones available on the Net.
