i recently bought the sansa rhapsody e200r mp3 player. i tested out a display model in the store, and was attracted to the interface's ease of use. so i bought it, brought it home thinking i was going to put tons of my cds onto it.
ha..this thing is turning out to be a total bitch. i havent been able to convert a single cd over onto it. it keeps giving me the option to "add media", but when i select the audio cd i have in the drive, it acts like its non existant.
but hey. it came preloaded with a bunch of crappy songs that i dont give a rats ass about. thats just more work for me trying to delete the crap off of my mp3 all the while trying to figure out how to put a damn cd on there.
i hope its not trying to tell me that the only songs i can download onto it are just via download from some music store..i really hope thats not what the case is...im about to throw this damn thing out of my window.
dont buy this piece of shit mp3 like i did.

You generally can't just move files from an audio cd to an mp3 player. You have to convert your audio cd files to something that the mp3 player can play, such as mp3s, or if the player allows, wmas or whatever. iPods I think is m4us. Then you should be able to put them on the player.

I recommend using Exact Audio Copy. It's free, and it's the best ripping software out there.
What's wrong with Windows Media Player?
Or Real Player, for that matter.

Well, the short answer would be that it's Windows Media Player. Or RealPlayer depending on the case. EAC is capable of ripping to whatever format you want, as long as you have the proper codecs installed, including FLAC, AAC, MP3, MP4, WMA (I think) and straight WAV. It's the best way to extract your CDs into lossless audio files.
Windows Media Player, I've found, is a pretty lousy ripper. It tends to rip things "at 192kbps" while it's actually something like 189kbps VBR. This is just my experience, and it was a few years back but I haven't used it since for anything but watching AVI files. And RealPlayer I simply flat out refuse to install on my computer. Real can go straight to hell.
