Thanks for the feedback Fred-Bloggs.
Ok, I'm able to get into http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ now.
I take it this is Free software but they are asking for donations.
(http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/downloads.php).
Which version do I use? They say that the current stable release is
CDex 1.5. There are older versions too. Or is it the current beta that
you are suggesting?
Is this better than Winamp for transfering CDs to MP3?
When you say there is a lot of detail involved, do you mean once I
start ripping the CDs that I will be using a different procedure for
each one or something?
