text: how do i turn a  cd track into a mp3???? i am trying to save some songs from a cd onto my cell phone through my computer. but i think i need to change the songs into mp3 first. so, i put the cd into the drive on my lap top, then i saved the album to my library. then i tried to copy them to the phone, but when i get to the window to select them, they are not there. so i assume they must be changed into mp3 first.....right? is this making any sense? any help would be hugely appreciated. convert the tracks first to mp3. you can use media player 10's ripping feature to change them, just be sure to set the player to convert to mp3 instead of wma using the options menu.
