I have an MP3 file on disk that I want to save as a wav file onto my C
drive so that I can upload it and send it thru the Internet to a
friend.  I have a Mac G5 processor and the recipient is capable of
sending and receiving music files because they already sent me a music
file and now I want to send one back to them.  So how do I take the
music file on the disk and save it to my hard drive?  I want to save
it to my Music Folder so I know where to retrieve it once it's saved
on the hard drive.  Can someone help me with that?  Thank you.

Dear Golchocobo-ga,

I upgraded my Musicmatch Jukebox to 10 and followed your instructions
to the letter and I got as far as "Copy from CD" and it did copy the
mp3 from the cd and the track was added to the library. When I clicked
on the "Library" subcategory in the "Play" category and right clicked
on the track I wanted, the problem is I didn't see an option for "Open
Containing Folder."  These are the only options I see:

Add To Current Playlist
Preview
Auto D
Send To
Add Tracks
Remove
Repair Broken Library Links
Super Tagging
Edit
Show Location on Computer
Show Recommended Music
Create Radio Station
Export Track List

Those are the only options available to select from.  Since I didn't
see the the "Open Containing Folder" option, I selected "Send To" and
selected the "Send To A Friend" subcategory and a box came up that
read "Playlist Must Contain A Lease One On Demand Track" and it
doesn't allow me to e-mail. It only has an "Okay" button to click and
when I click it, the window then disappears so I would like to know
what else can I do to send the track over the Net and why am I not
seeing the option "Open Containing Folder."  Thank you.

To Whom It May Concern:

Can anyone tell me how to send an mp3 file as an attachment over the
internet? I'm still waiting for an answer. I'll tip $20 to the first
person who can guide me thru this process successfully! I really need
to send music files via email. Thanks!

Thanks for your question, and thanks for choosing Google! Answers.


"Can anyone tell me how to send an mp3 file as an attachment over the internet?"

What email service are you using? Generally while in the "compose
outgoing message" mode of your email program or web site, there is an
option to attach a file.

Another (easier, I think) way to do it would be to use
http://yousendit.com -- just choose your file, enter the appropriate
email addresses, and yousendit.com will be able to send a file up to a
gigabyte in size.


Your original CD is definitely an audio CD. An "Audio CD" is a just a
format of data written on a CD that normal CD players can read --
computers can read them too, and they can be burned onto the new
"Audio CDRs" or onto regular CDR data discs too. If you want to burn
an MP3 as an MP3 onto a disc to transport it from computer to
computer, make sure you burn in "data" mode, so that the MP3 file is a
file and not a track converted by the burning software.

As I understand it you already extracted this to an MP3 file again
from the CD you have, but if not I can walk you through this process
step by step. The type of programs that make MP3s, WAVs, or OGGs from
Audio CDs are called CD rippers.

Hope this helps with what you were trying to do!

Can you clarify when you mean disc? If it is computer dic, put into
the cd drive. Now you will cd in your computer.
Open "My computer"
Goto  "D:\"
"Now you see all mp3 songs in your cd"
select the mp3 file you want to on to hard drive

"right click on the mp3 song" and select "copy"

And "paste" it on any hard drive location.

Now if you want to send the mp3 by mail, sign in to the mail and
compose a new mail with the attachment. If you don't know how to send
an attachment, please reply me back , I am glad to help

More information..
 If you want to convert mp3 to wav , there are lot of program which does that.
Following is the free one.
http://www.mp3fe.com/main_mp32wav.htm

you can download it and convert mp3 to wav files.

But I don't see any reason you want to do that, as most computers can
play any type of files.

Hope this helps.

Yes, it's a CD computer disk. Now when I put the disk in the drive and
go to My Computer and click once on the D drive, it highlights it but
it doesn't display the content on the CD itself and when I click the D
drive twice, it opens up and it brings up Match Box player and it
starts playing the song. so I can't highlight the file I want to send
over the Net. So what do I do to display the song on the CD so I can
hightlight it?

Also, I want to send the song to a specific place on my hard drive so
I know where to go retrieve it. I want to direct it to my Music
folder. Thx,

Hi,

I just tried to follow your instructions by right clicking on the
highlighted D drive itself since it has only that one song on the CD
and I selected copy and then I opened up My Music folder and I went
back to where the CD was to select paste and the error msg said
"Cannot copy track01. Files on this CD ROM drive are read only. You
cannot copy or move files over to this CD ROM drive. I'm trying to
move files from the CD ROM to my C drive. So I'm confused now.

You said you had Musicmatch Jukebox? If you don't you can go to
http://www.musicmatch.com and download it. If you already have it, you
will need to update to version 10 (you don't need the upgrade that
costs money, the free version will work just fine).

Once you have it you can use it to rip the song from the CD. I'm
guessing it's an audio CD because you can't copy it normally. Anyway,
put the CD in and the program will pop up. On the left hand side of
the window you will see a "play" category with "Library", "CD", and
"Now Playing" sub-categories. Click on the "CD" button. Now, in the
main window you will see a list of tracks (or track) on the CD.

There will be two buttons over the list "Play CD" and "Copy from CD".
Click "Copy from CD". It will then copy the track from the CD. After
it is done the track will be added to your library. Now click on the
"Library" sub-category in the "Play" category. Right-Click on the
track and select "Open Containing Folder" there is the .mp3 file. Do
what you need to with it (move it, convert it with the program
mentioned in an earlier comment).

Now I just realized you have a Mac, so all you need is Music Man. You
can download a shareware version at
http://mac.sofotex.com/download-126896.html.

Music Man can both rip Audio CD's and convert to .wav. So, good
luck... hope I've helped.

Your cd might be copy protected. In order to have the cd not copy-rotected 
use the following link. It gave details instuctions how you make it
not copy protected.

hope it helps..
