Ripping CDs with iTunes

It's time to learn how to rip audio files onto your computer. If you don't have it already (chances are you do), go download iTunes from the Apple website and install it.

Now launch iTunes and stick a CD in your computer. Before you pull the audio files off the CD, you have to make sure that iTunes is set up to create audio files in a format that we can use. Open the iTunes drop down menu and click on Preferences. Then select Advanced and then Importing. Set the Import Using menu to MP3 Encoder and then choose the quality you want under Setting (I think 192kbps is best). Now you're ready to make digital audio files that you can use for your movies. Your CD should show up in the source list on the left, just click on it and then click on the Import button on the top right of the iTunes window. Watch in awe as the MP3 files are generated. You'll find the files have been moved to the Library under the Source list on the left.

Now just copy the song you want by dragging it to the folder on your desktop.
