I know how to use Windows Media Player to rip mp3 files. I am also aware
of the file selection types such as WMA WMA Variable, etc.

Here is what I don't know how to do:

I have several regular music albums. I want to place those albums on my pc,
and then be able to make an album that can be played on **any** player.
What format is used for this ? I know it must be the basic "audio"
type file, but I cannot think of the name of it.

From what I can determine, it looks like Windows Media Player does not give
this option. It allows the option of various levels of compression, such as
WMA WMA Variable, mp3 etc.

IF WMP does not allow what I wish to do, what software could I use to rip
to regular audio files that can be used on any player ? Can Nero do this
?

I know these are "green" questions, but I am a bit lost here. I did this
several years ago, but I have forgotten how I did it !!

Thanks for any help !!
