Getting Started 2-6

Ripping From A CD
To get music tracks from your CDs to your player, you will need a CD-ROM drive that can extract digital audio data, and Creative MediaSource Organizer. Creative MediaSource Organizer will read the audio information on your CD and convert it to MP3 files using the bitrate you choose.
Rather than manually entering track information, retrieve such audio CD information from CDDB before ripping tracks.
The standard bitrate of most MP3 files is 128 Kbps, although some are set higher, at 160 or 192 Kbps. Using the standard bitrate will ensure that your MP3 files retain much of their audio quality. Higher bitrates will result in larger MP3 file sizes, with better audio quality. The time needed to successfully extract audio from a CD depends on: CD-ROM drive speed Defects, like scratches on the audio CD Error-checking features on the CD-ROM drive Bitrate selected for encoding.
For more information on how to rip and encode audio CDs, see the Creative MediaSource online Help.
Change the default ripping format and bitrate for higher or lower quality audio. See Creative MediaSources online Help for details.
