Ok the first 2 I know, Ripping is when you "rip" a CD into mp3's or such. Burning is burning music to a CD. And I am guessing sync, is to sync your music up to a portable device or something like that.

Either way I wouldn't use it for any 3 of them. Theres much better ways of doing them with other software thats free.

ok so basically ripping is just the tool used to convert music to mp3 format.

rip = record media from your cd (as wma / mp3)

burn = record media to a cd

sync= transfer media between your PC and a portable media device (eg iPod etc etc.}

Yeah ripping takes the music of the CD and leaves you with a audio file of various formats. Personally for compatibility I would choose MP3, but I think as standard you can only rip to WMA with Windows Media Player.

I rip all my music as soon as I get it. Makes it easier to have it all in one place and I don't have to swap CD's all the time. Just type in the song/artist and it plays.

With windows media player, it rips songs to wma files as standard (not a good idea) but you can change that in the options part so it rips to mp3 automatically.

Another good idea is to go to your music library, probably my documents/my music and convert them all to mp3.  You can get a mp3 converter online.  Many are free.

I say this because wma files are fiddly and sometimes mess up the burning process.

I would hope that none of them are spyware. Freeware is normally free of anything like that.

Go with AudioGrabber that looks pretty good to me.

If you want a nice audio player with a built in library to keep track of your music, I can also recommend Winamp

No, don't think any of that software I listed will copy a CD. All they do is rip the music to a file. You want something similar to Nero. But Nero is a really good package, have you tried re-installing it?

I think that would be your best bet, to get nero working again.

@All

Hmmmmmmmmm...?

The best product that I have come across is DBPowerAmp...

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/

Has all the major features required... without any DRM...

Only the CD recording module is shareware and time limited the... all the rest is free...

***Scratches head***

A reasonable library... which uses a crap MS Access database (?)... is MediaMonkey...

http://www.mediamonkey.com/
