Nero is a multimedia software suite that allows you to convert audio tracks from a CD to MP3 format. Nero also allows you to burn CDs and DVDs, edit movies and share your music, videos and photos with friends and family. You must pay to download the full version of Nero, but there is an unlimited free version (Nero Lite) that allows you to copy and burn CDs and DVDs.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Download and install Nero (see Resources below).
2 Open Nero StartSmart. It will be found under the "All Programs" sub-menu of the main "Start" menu.
3 Click the "Audio Ripping" button on the left side of the screen.
4 Insert the audio CD into the computer's CD tray and click "OK."
5 Select the CD drive from the "Source Drive" drop-down menu.
6 Select "MP3 Audio (*.mp3)" from the "Output File Format:" drop-down menu.
7 Click the "Browse" button and select the folder where you want to place your MP3 file.
8 Click the "Deselect All" button so that no audio tracks are selected.
9 Click the check box in front of the track that you want to convert.
10 Click the "Rip" button at the bottom of the screen to covert the track to MP3.
11 Click the "OK" button when the conversion is complete.
