Convert CD Track(s)
Blaze Media Pro converts CD audio tracks directly to MP3, OGG, WMA, or WAV formats. The Convert CD Track(s) command provides a CDDB auto-save feature, which enables track title, artist, and album information to be dynamically downloaded from the Internet CD database. The information is then used when converting CD tracks to WAV, MP3, WMA, or OGG. You can configure this feature to use as much or little of the information in any preferred order. Of course, you can also disable this feature if you do not wish to be connected to the Internet while converting CD tracks.
 Tip
| • | If the converted file does not have the expected quality, or the conversion does not complete successfully, the computer's configuration or files being converted might not support the default conversion method. You can set an option to change the way Blaze Media Pro's conversions operate for increased compatibility. To do this, in the main window of Blaze Media Pro, click the Options menu and select General. On the General Settings dialog box, click Use Alternate Conversion Methods. Once you set this option, try the conversion again. |
