Convert CD Track(s)

Media Wizard converts CD audio tracks directly to MP3, OGG, WMA, or WAV formats. The Convert CD Track(s) command provides a FreeDB auto-save feature, which enables track title, artist, and album information to be dynamically downloaded from the Internet CD database. The information is then used when converting CD tracks to WAV, MP3, WMA, or OGG. You can configure this feature to use as much or little of the information in any preferred order. Of course, you can also disable this feature if you do not wish to be connected to the Internet while converting CD tracks.

Tip

  1. Insert an Audio CD into the CD-ROM drive. If you have more than one CD-ROM drive, you can select the one you want to use from the Device drop-down list. You can also change the speed by selecting the speed from the Speed drop-down list but unless you are having problems or specific preferences it is best to leave the speed at Default.
  2. In the main window, click Conversions > CD Track(s).
