I am only talking about original CD's that I purchased in the store or from online retailers.  Can I give away the CD (not sell) to a friend or co-worker and keep the ripped songs on my PC or mp3 player?

put the songs back on the hard drive from the CD. Use your burn program to rip them to .mp3 / then reburn using a burn program that 'indexes' or makes a printed list for the CD cover / label. Extra steps, but it works. I can't find a way to import the songs with the title. The title is not embedded in the tape.

You cannot do this legally (in the US anyway, due to the DMCA of 1998).  The iTunes songs are DRM-crippled and you are denied access to your normal rights to fair use.

The cd has to be in a perfect condition, preferably brand new. You have to have a cd-r or cd-rw drive in your cpu. Also, the song format you are burning to the cd have to be compatible with your cd player. Read your cd-player manual to find out the format of songs it can play. Then burn the songs of that format to a cd with no scratches. \n\nGood luck.

good luck,you have to have the code for YOUR particular cd. If you lost it,you have to buy a new cd. Another person's cd code will not work for your cd.

do you mean rip the music onto your computer, burn the music onto another CD, or remove a song from a CD that you just burned? \n\nYou cannot remove music from the actual CD, btw. Once it's there it's there for good. Try getting a new blank CD

The real answer is that copying software and music or movies is not stealing. It is copyright infringement, which is not a criminal offense. Stealing a CD or DVD from a store is actually stealing. It is a criminal offense. Stealing a CD deprives the artist, store owner, and label of the profit that they would have gotten by selling the CD. Copying music and downloading the file only deprives them of money if the person downloading would have purchased the music otherwise, which is almost never the case.\n\nSo don't equate copyright infringement with stealing, because it is a much lesser offense. The music industry likes to use the terms "stealing," "piracy," and "theft," because it uses language to subconsciously alter how people are thinking about the problem. Don't fall into that trap.\n\nThat said, copyright infringement *is* a civil offense that is illegal. I don't think people are closet thieves, I just think that the actual value of the products that these people are producing is far less than the cost, and people feel justified in downloading it because they feel somewhat overcharged for the music they do purchase.

the song u hear from your cd is not in digital format so if u put the cd in your pc cdrom, what u see is a shortcut to the song. U need to "rip" the song out - actually converting it to digital format - usually .wav first then convert it to MP3 which is smaller by about 10 times in size so that it can fit into player such as Mp3 etc. Otherwise a song in your cd is about 40Mb that's why your cd audio only have about 20-30 songs at most.\nTo do all these conversion u need all the softwares mentioned by the others...\nbut i think it is easier if u go download the MP3 direct. There are tons of MP3 in the internet and u can find all the songs u want - it is a little illegal but everybody is downloading so it is up to u .....

Yes you can, just pop it into your cd rom. When the program opens up, just close it out. then go to My Computer, (On your desktop) and right click, drop to Explore, when that opens up, you should see your CD ROM in there somewhere. Click on it, (just once, NO double click) You should see some files. Right click one of those files, then Open With... and choose Windows Media Player. It should have an option to "always use this to open these types of files", click on that.\nYou should be good to go. Just close Explorer and enjoy your music.\nNOTE: You may have to do this with each file. If I was there I could fix it, I just can't explain it how! Hope this is helpful.

You will have use "Create Data CD" option when you start to create your "media" CD. The music you copy cannot be CD tracks if they need to co-exist on a media dist with other files (pictures, etc) Music in MP3 or MIDI format for example can co-exist with pictures or any other data files.

you can buy / borrow a cd buffer kit... these help.  also - if the cd isn't too terribly damaged, you can burn a copy & sometimes it will burn properly... or you can rip the cd to your computer - then burn it after you've checked & made sure it transferred fine.

You can use either. I assume you have them saved as MP3s. If they are saved as WMAs or AACs MP4s (Or whatever format iTunes uses) it might be more complicated.\n\nTo move the files, just copy them to the USB Drive, and then copy to the Music folder on your laptop. This method should definately work for MP3 files. If the are WMA's and they were downloaded from a service you had to pay for, they might not play on your laptop. If you downloaded them from iTunes, I believe you can just login to iTunes on the laptop and redownload them. You may need to deauthorize the other computer.\n\nIf you have the origonal CDs, it might be best to just re-rip the songs.

I worked in a retail store so I actually know this one! The store is sent CD's of "pre-approved songs". Just ask the manager. But the CD's are made especially for retail, so they may or may not let you burn the CD. The place I worked at plated ONLY Frank Sinatra.. GOOD GOD!

You are allowed to burn one copy for yourself. DJs, when playing, have to prove that they own the songs they are playing.  Giving burned CDs away is pirating.

You can't download music to a CD.  Music can be downloaded to your computer hard drive, and then played by any number of audio players....or burned to a CD for use elsewhere.

If you don't have to sell them online, call up a local used music store in your town.  I've sold cds of mine to those kind of shops before.  \n\nIf you must sell them online, try www.craigslist.org\n\nYou can buy, sell, trade pretty much everything on there from furniture to music to cars.  It is categorized by location so make sure to check it out, you never know, you might have the cd that someone is dying to find!

First you have to have the music ripped from the CD onto your computer.  (Mandatory disclaimer to keep the music police happy: Ripping music to your computer and e-mailing it may be a violation of copyright law)  Windows Media Players can be used to rip music to your computer.\n\nOnce there, the music becomes a file.  Simply attach that file to an e-mail the same as you would any other file.
