You might need to check thru your settings on the computer.
Is it Windows XP?
are you using the windows media player?

When you put the CD in does a screen pop up that asks you what to do with the info on the CD?

I got a new laptop,because of a virus that had taken out my internet on my old one,and now I can,and did get my music onto my laptop.I wish I could,or knew how to put one of my songs in the creative corner,for you guys to hear.Is that possible,can you actually put a song in creative corner to share,to where they can actually hear you singing the song! Or can you only write lyrics for reading like I've seen in there. I've seen links,but I wouldn't know a link to my own music library on my laptop!

can you upload them to google videos or You Tube ?
Or a music only version of those?

then post the link to them that way?

here's one i found- http://www.music.com/member/artist-signup

I tried the music.com thing,and it says only MP3's,and I don't know how to do the other stuff,I'm new to this whole internet thing.! lol

I've never done anything like that , but maybe you need to find a program that will convert your music files to MP3 format?

Your player on Windows?? should be able to do a conversion - look for the settings /preferences/tools/options for something like that.

Hi sunsplashinwaves, iTunes is a free download from Apple and there is a Windows version. It's very easy to use and will convert file formats with just a click.

iPods can be had for cheap on Apple's refurbished iPods link and they are guaranteed. I got a refurb 4gb Nano that holds 1,000 songs for $140. It's perfect for me, I just keep a few different music files/albums and rotate them by the 1,000 songs every once in awhile. My car stereo is hard-wired to play and charge it and I love it, I just pop it out and it's good to go on the move.

Here's a neat trick, I often take my laptop to the library and load CDs right there. They automatically dump into iTunes and I'm good to go.

To convert protected AAC files to unprotected, just burn them onto a CD and reload it, taa-daa, no longer protected.
