Hi,

I would like to convert songs off of my music cd's to MP3's to play in a new digital picture frame. Can anyone please help me. I have the Toast Burning software but not sure if that will work?

Thanks,

Bob

This ought to do it. And the price is right, too.

Just make sure you set iTunes to rip to mp3s, not its default AACs.

You can set iTunes to rip at just about any "normal" MP3 rate. I rip my CDs at 160/320kbps, and while the files are bigger than the usual, lower rate, I think they're cleaner rips. My only issue with ripping using iTunes is that I'm not thrilled with tagging using iTunes. Not a big deal, but it's not the way I like doing it. (I prefer MusicMatch Jukebox (before Yahoo! tweaked it).)
