You are such a legend B.J.

I just burned a few music CDs from my MP3s. In the process I'd moved all the MP3s I wanted to burn into a seperate folder.

After I burned the discs I deleted the folder didn't I? And I mean the delete from the recycle bin too.

How awfully clever of me.

Now I need to find a free program that rips CDs to MP3.

Should have made it a data cd. If your cd player can read them.

It can't.

Hence my making of music CDs.

I also put a bunch on a data CD for saving reasons but those songs aren't on it.

Well, you know windows media player can rip them back, but not convert back to mp3s I don't think.

I have an excellent program for that...

now excuse me while I go and try to remember what and where it is!

You can rip audio cds to either wav or mp3 files, and you can also convert wav and mp3 back and forth. Handiness.

(this is what I used to rip all my CDs to mp3 files before I sold all my CDs on ebay.)

I did manage to find one on Tucows that did the job.
