Creating MP3 music files
Using MusicMatch, you can copy the tracks from a music CD to your computer’s
hard drive as MP3 files. MP3 (MPEG Layer 3) is a standard for digitally
compressing high-fidelity music into compact files without noticeably
sacrificing quality. MP3 files end in the file extension .MP3.

If the drive you want to use is not in the modular bay, you

swapping modules, see “Changing drives” on page 242.
