Then WMP is set to grab album info from the web, with the odd 5% requiring manual tracklist input.<BR /><BR />That way, you just keep feeding your CD drive, without any keyboard/mouse input. Move your PC to the living room, and have it sitting their, devouring albums!!<BR /><BR />Play about with the settings in Tools, Options and get it right for a few first, before ripping many. It will take you a while to retrace steps if not happy with a selection later on.<BR /><BR />Good luck, Tony<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:47:41 GMT https://community.sony.sk/t5/pcs-accessories/audio-connections/m-p/88686#M16244 ChalkyWhite71 2008-12-12T12:47:41Z
