Load the software, pop a CD in your computer's CD-ROM drive and the tracklist will appear on the screen. Mark the tracks you want to copy and then click either the MP3 or WAV button. Most of the time you'll use the MP3 option because this copies each track using a clever technology that strips out the bits of sound the human ear can't hear, and reduces the amount of space the resulting file takes up. Using this method even an average home computer can be used to store and play back thousands of songs. Alternatively you can create WAV files, suitable for copying back out to a blank CD that you can then play on your stereo; the program can also convert MP3 songs that you download from the Internet into WAVs as well. Finally, it comes with a player program that allows you to listen to your songs and compile them into play lists.
There's no doubt that this does the job and is very easy to use. However, Windows has for some time included a free program called Media Player that's able to do something very similar, much more quickly and--if you've got an Internet connection--can search a huge online database of CD titles and tracks and automatically fill in their details for you. MP3 for Dummies offers nothing like this and if you want to name your tracks, you'll have to do it from within Windows Explorer. Fans of the For Dummies series of programs will feel comfortable with this but really, it's worth trying out the Windows Media Player before you decide. --Rob Beattie
