MP3 or conventional CDs: Is it possible to make conventional CDs as well as convert the vinyl to MP3s?

Yes, you can do that. The software included with the turntable records the music from your vinyls into mp3 files. The mp3 files can then be burned to CD's. They should have just put it into basic terms.

Actually on Windows, I convert my CD's to mp3 using the included Microsoft Media Player. Under the "rip music" tab in the preference you can select the format as "mp3" and dial up the "Audio Quality" to as much as 320 bps. Once set in preferences it runs automatically every time I stick in a CD. You don't need to add software to do this. For me the sound quality seem great ... but do note I am no longer a young person and my hearing is not what it used to be ... so this particular part of my opinion should be taken with that in mind.

You leave a lot of questions as to what you are doing. I personally don't use the ION software and iTunes. I use Audacity and another MP3 player. I've converted over 600 cassettes so far. With Audacity you can do a lot of "cleaning up" of the tracks like "noise removal", "normalize", "amplify'', etc. Let us know what you are doing.

There may be other ways, but I'd simply burn a CD from iTunes and then rip it to create the MP3 files a copy them to the SD.

No. You will need to digitize the LPs and the 45's then burn them to a CD before inserting them into the duplicator. I am converting all my albums to CD and SD cards and am using the Roxio computer program, but there are several programs that can be used to import the tracks ( you hook up your turn table to your computer via an audio cable into the computer's microphone jack) and then , through the computer program you import the music, and last, you burn the tracks to the disc. It really is not difficult.

It is possible to make an mp3 disk and play the audio ebooks on this player

if the music cd is readen by the unit, you can copy music from the cd to the usb (Only in that way) but it is very basic you can`t choose bit/rate or format... I prefer Itunes or any other ripping program in a computer...

Honestly, I've never used the software. In the past I've used Quicktime on the mac to convert vinyl with a portable Ion record player I have. And that worked fine. But I'd say give it a shot and see how it works. Sorry I couldn't be more help. T

This turntable allows you to connect to your computer and transfer 33 1/3 vinyl records into your computer. This is done by using the software that comes with the product,however it is not easy and the instructions are hard to follow.You indicated DVD I think you mean CD's which are for music.

The product description indicates it is a computer program on a DVD rather than an Audio CD with tracks you could rip. GG is right that the program, Audacity, plus Lame.dll is probably the best way to convert various things to mp3s. Audacity is free, open source, works well, and under most setups can also record your computer's audio output. Perhaps that's the only way you could extract audio from a program and convert to mp3, but I think it's supposed to be interactive.

No, it's not--you can digitize your vinyl for use on your devices (basically converting the music on your records into mp3s), or just play your vinyl on old school with the audio coming through the built-in speakers. What would make it better is if it had Blue Tooth (so it could be played through external wireless speakers). But being able to capture songs from vinyl and turn them into mp3s for your devices is still pretty cool--that and the built-in speakers were all I was looking for. Hopefully this helps!

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Are you saying you have CDs that you've ripped to MP3, and now you want to use uncompressed versions of those songs instead of MP3 versions?If so, you'd have to start from the original CDs and rerip them to Apple Lossless or WAV (or AIFF). You can't add information to the lossey audio files you already have.In the case of music you've purchased from iTunes (or any download service), there's nothing you can do. They don't offer CD quality audio files.Obviously of course uncompressed audio takes up more space, so you might instead want to rip things at like 320Kb/s AAC, which is the best lossy format these players support.

All you need to do is create a Data CD full of MP3 music. Do not use Music CDs, just CD-R type discs.

Im also wondering the same thing, if there is a simpler version of just listening to old vinyls on your pc speakers

Not directly. You have to transfer your cassette to itunes on your computer, then you can make a CD.

When you install the software for the Zen (not the stupid Yahoo Music Engine), it'll give you the option of ripping your CD's directly to your player, so yes.
