Getting Started 2-7
Ripping From A
CD
To get music tracks from your CDs to your player, you will need a CD-ROM
drive that can extract digital audio data, and Creative MediaSource
Organizer.
Creative MediaSource Organizer will read the audio information on your CD
and convert it to MP3 files using the bitrate you choose.
The standard bitrate of most MP3 files is 128 Kbps, although some are set
higher, at 160 or 192 Kbps. Using the standard bitrate will ensure that your
MP3 files retain much of their audio quality. Higher bitrates will result in larger
MP3 file sizes, with better audio quality.
The time needed to successfully extract audio from a CD depends on:
❍ CD-ROM drive speed
❍ Defects, like scratches on the audio CD
❍ Error-checking features on the CD-ROM drive
❍ Bitrate selected for encoding.
For more information on how to rip and encode audio CDs, see the
Creative MediaSource online Help.
Rather than manually
entering track
information, retrieve
such audio CD
information from CDDB
before ripping tracks.
Change the default
ripping format and
bitrate for higher or
lower quality audio.

MediaSource’s online
Help for details.
