Page 1 of Recording cd`s on the fly with my my writer. Help!

I have just got a new cd writer but i cant download albums because i always run out of memory. My other option is to record them on the fly so i put my other cd player back in but cant get it to work. The writer will only copy image files this way. I think you must have to link the player and the writer together but i cant suss out how to do this. Can anybody help me please?

Download your albums to an mp3 player (if you havent got one, download one for free www.mp3.com) Then copy albums to cd from mp3 player

Its that simple :0)

Just going slightly off at a tangent...

Is it possible to convert downloaded MP3 files to files that can be read by my normal CD player??

Cheers

PS Clayts, you`re not the Clayts who`s a doctor that just left the A&E Department of Queen`s are you??

Yeah,
If you`ve got Nero or Roxio, they`ll do it easily. Loads of other freebie ones aswell.

to the first guy, connect your C drive as the primary master (plug the grey IDE cable into IDE 1 on the motherboard, with the master socket connected to the Hard disk drive). Then connect the CD drive as the primary slave, on the same grey cable as the hard disk drive is now installed there should be a second plug type thing, put that into the socket on the CD drive. Then put the CDrw drive as secondary master, connect another grey IDE cable from the CDrw drive to the second IDE slot on the motherboard.

this in theory should let you copy from the CD drive straight to the CDrw. If they were on the same IDE cable then you`d get a warning saying that it can`t read and write at the same time. Also make sure you have burnproof activated, which allows your cdrw to stop writing to allow the buffer to catch up (the music data may not be read from the cd drive as fast as it is written without burnproof the disc would be ruined).

I use musicmatch jukebox, which is downloadable all over the place (try www.tucows.com) where you just make a playlist of mp3s and select to burn them as music data, simply as.

hope I helped.
