Tip of the week
Save space on your hard disk when ripping music
Do you like to rip (copy) music from CDs but you're worried about using up hard disk space on your computer? In Windows Media Player, you can pick from several audio formats and a range of file sizes to find the combination of quality and file size that works for you.
If you aren't sure which format to pick, listen to how the formats sound at the Audio Quality Web page. Or, try ripping some songs with different formats and sizes until you find the
combination that works best for you.
