http://www.weethet.nl/english/audio_createmp3.php

Creating your own MP3's of your own Audio (Music) CD, used to be pretty difficult. One needed specific tools and an MP3 codec.

First one needed a tool to copy an audio track to harddisk, a so called ripper, like Audio-Grabber, which still can be found at the Audio-Grabber homepage. Besides the ripper, one needed a tool and a codec to convert the track to MP3, this is usually the modified Frauenhof codec by Radium which you can still download here.

Time has changed things a bit and tools for burning CD's often support the ripping of tracks as well. Tools like Nero, rip the track and convert it instantly to MP3 for you saving you a lot of work. On their website you can download a trial version. This guide is written specifically for Nero, explaining step-by-step what to do.
