BX Tale Member Registered: 14/02/01 Posts: 106 Loc: The Bronx	I am not really tech savy, so excuse me. I am looking into getting a head unit that is able to play MP3 burned on CDs. Any advice? I am looking at the Kenwood KDC-X859. And I was going to go with the Rio Riot to hook that up to the Aux cable to it. I really like the idea that the Riot you have a portable player and be able to hook that up to the head unit. My real qustion is on the programs to upload my CD to my computer and convert them to MP3. What program do you recomend or are using? And also a program to burn them onto CDs. And what program to use to manage all the songs uploaded onto the computer? I just bought the Rio600 player it came with a program (rio Audio manager) but after playing around with it for a while it won't let me upload the hit tracks from the Cd and ask me to buy an unlock code form them. What is this? I have Easy CD Creator 5, MusicMatch Jukebox 7.2(trial ver) and Winamp. Anything else that need or you guys can recomend?

However one downside - takes about 5 seconds for a song to start. I heard Alpine models take about 2 seconds.. Great choice on the MP3 decks, but keep the couple second delay in mind. Oh for comparison - my deck cost me $300 (cost is $220) _________________________ Keep your enemies close but your friends closer.

My personal preference for ripping MP3 files - Cakewalk Pyro. _________________________ "Nature has constituted utility to man the standard and test of virtue. Men living in different countries, under different circumstances, different habits and regimens, may have different utilities; the same act, therefore, may be useful and consequently virtuous in one country which is injurious and vicious in another differently circumstanced" - Thomas Jefferson, moral relativist

It rips them as WMAs, but the Kenwwod receiver will read them the same. Or you can "buy" a program that will allow you to rip them as mp3s, retail cost is $9, so theat ain't bad. _________________________ My Xterra Pics I wish I would have a real tragic love affair and get so bummed out that I'd just quit my job and become a bum for a few years, because I was thinking about doing that anyway.

Ditto that on Exact Audio Copy. Not flashy, but I have found it to be better than most other rippers out there. You can download it pre- configured with LAME here: Superior MP3
