mp3 ripping

[kookooheed]

ive got 2 programs to rip cds to mp3(nero and acoustica).the problem that i have is,maybe 2 out every 5 cds that i try to rip,the program freezes after 2% of the first track.
then after that i get a knock on effect all the other programs on the pc wont respond,even shutting down the pc.i have to keep my finger on the power button to forcibly shut down the pc.when i restart after that,everything runs ok until i rip that cd again.ive installed all the updates and drivers and none of these work.someone has got to have the solution.cheers

Why not use Media player?

[kookooheed]

because when i rip with the media player,and then try to make an mp3 cd for my car,i use nero,and then when i put the files in, i get the message "invalid files"

I always use Media player, never had a problem :) . I can't help with the techy stuff 'cos I'm an I.T. thicko. :geek :( :yikes: :D

im the same as you sm, but i think the media player rips to a wma file(but not sure)and when trying to make the cd,it wont work
