Sorry my setup is probably different. I use creative playcenter to rip my Cd's to mp3. It stores them in folders by album title. I play them with windows media player and set my play lists up in it. There is another media folder in the windows directory but I think thats for windows sounds, wave files.
PC performance buffs have long measured hardware advances using a few simple metrics: Is it faster? Is it bigger? Does it have more blinky lights?
Irrelavant of what ripping software you use...where did you get it from? The creative software? I use Cdex.
If you set up play lists in Media Player then it will store a media library file somewhere, god knows what it's called, or what file type it is, but I just want to delete it
Because Media Player doesn't completely delete them, so if you add them back in the tracks have some old values
Also, I have to have my mp3's read only because of a problem with Media Player 9 as it damages the artist info of an mp3!!!
