在打扫家里的灰尘时，我偶然发现了我的音频CD 收藏，里面有来自(CD collection)Pink Floyd、Rush和 The Beatles等很棒的乐队的专辑。我被怀旧情绪击中，我决定要翻录一些 CD 并以高质量的音频格式(high-quality audio format)聆听出色的音乐。对于那些不知道的人来说，翻录 CD 意味着将歌曲从 CD 复制到计算机的硬盘或其他位置，其格式与存储在 CD 上的格式不同。以下是如何使用Windows Media Player在(Windows Media Player)Windows中快速可靠地翻录 CD ：
步骤 1(Step 1)。取出音频CD 并将(CD and place)其放入您的 CD/DVD/蓝光驱动器
您可能有一台装有Windows 7的旧电脑，或者有一台装有DVD或蓝光驱动器的(DVD or Blu-Ray drive)Windows 10的新电脑。取出您要翻录的音频 CD，并将其放入计算机的CD/DVD or Blu-Ray drive中。
您应该听到光盘旋转(disc spinning)的声音，这意味着驱动器正在读取其内容。
步骤 2(Step 2)。启动 Windows Media Player 并访问(Start Windows Media Player and access)音频 CD
下一步是启动Windows Media Player。一种快速的方法是使用搜索功能(search feature)。在搜索框中(search box)输入“windows media player”，然后点击或点击相应的搜索结果(search result)。
在Windows Media Player应用程序中，单击或点击(click or tap)已插入计算机的音频 CD 的名称。就我而言，我要翻录一张让我爱上Pink Floyd的优秀专辑：“The Division Bell”。对于每首曲目，您应该看到其编号、标题、长度和贡献艺术家。
如果您有一张古老的音频 CD，其中没有存储有关曲目的信息，您可以右键单击曲目列表中的任意位置，然后单击“查找专辑信息”。("Find album info.") Windows Media Player可能能够提供帮助并找到丢失的信息。如果不能，您可以自己编辑信息，键入每首曲目的标题，等等。
步骤 3(Step 3)。选择用于翻录 CD的音频格式(audio format)
默认情况下，Windows Media Player使用具有低质量音频设置的MP3 格式(MP3 format)翻录您的音乐。你可能不想要那个。单击(Click)或点击工具栏上的翻录设置(Rip settings)按钮，转到格式(Format)并选择您喜欢的音频格式(audio format)。
翻录音频 CD 的最佳格式是什么？那取决于你。如果您是发烧友，您应该选择FLAC(Lossless)，因为它提供了最好的音频质量。但是，这种格式会占用大量磁盘空间(disk space)。对于大多数人来说，MP3将是最好的选择，因为它兼容很多设备，包括汽车音响(car stereos)。
注意：(NOTE:)如果您使用 Windows 7，则FLAC 选项(FLAC option)将不会在Windows Media Player中作为翻录格式提供。此格式在Windows 10中可用。
第 4 步(Step 4)。选择您喜欢的音频质量(audio quality)
如果您选择MP3或(MP3)FLAC以外的格式，您还应该设置音频质量。在Windows Media Player中，单击或点击翻录设置(Rip settings)，然后是音频质量(Audio Quality)，以及您喜欢的质量。对于MP3(MP3 audio)音轨，我们建议选择 320 Kbps ，因为它提供了这种格式的最佳音质。(sound quality)
要记住的一件事是，您选择的音频质量(audio quality)越高，听音乐时的声音就越好。但是，它也会占用更多的存储空间(storage space)。因此，您最好选择在音质和(audio quality)存储空间(storage space)之间取得最佳平衡的音质。
步骤 5(Step 5)。选择保存翻录音频的位置以及要使用的文件名
默认情况下，Windows Media Player会将您的音频 CD 翻录到音乐库(Music library)。您可能想要更改翻录音乐的位置。为此，请点击或点击(click or tap) 翻录设置(Rip settings)，然后点击更多选项。(More options.)
在“选项(Options)”窗口的“翻录音乐(Rip Music)”选项卡中，查看“将音乐翻录到此位置”(Rip music to this location")字段。它显示了所有音乐将被翻录的位置。要更改它，请单击或点击右侧的更改(Change)按钮，浏览到您想要的位置，然后单击确定(OK)。
用于翻录音乐的默认文件名是(default file name)Track Number Song Title。例如，您可以翻录文件名为“11-High Hopes.mp3”("11-High Hopes.mp3")的曲目。如果您希望文件名包含艺术家或专辑名称(album name)等内容，并更改元素的顺序，请单击或点击“选项(Options)”窗口中的“文件名”(File Name)按钮。
然后，检查您想要包含在文件名中的详细信息：艺术家、专辑、曲目编号、歌曲标题、流派(Artist, Album, Track Number, Song Title, Genre,)和比特率。(Bit rate.)然后，使用右侧的上移(Move Up)和下移按钮更改它们的顺序，并选择所需的分隔符：空格、破折号、点、下划线或无。(Move Down)完成设置后，单击或点击(click or tap) OK。
在“选项(Options)”窗口中再次单击“确定”。(OK)
步骤 6(Step 6)。将音频 CD 翻录到您的Windows 计算机(Windows computer)
现在您已经根据自己的喜好配置了翻录过程。(ripping process)单击(Click)或点击翻录 CD(Rip CD)按钮。
翻录过程(ripping process)开始，对于每个轨道，您都会看到状态。您可以通过单击停止翻录(Stop rip)按钮随时停止翻录。
在短短几分钟内，您的所有音轨都应该被翻录并存储在您的Windows 计算机上(Windows computer)，在您设置的文件夹中。现在是时候在高品质音频设置下聆听您的音乐收藏了。(music collection)享受过去的怀旧之情，那时音频 CD 是您听音乐的方式。🙂

How to rip a CD with Windows Media Player, in Windows
While dusting my home, I stumblеd upon my audio CD collection with albums from awesome bands like Pink Floyd, Rush, and The Beatles. I got hit by nostalgia, and I deсіded thаt I wanted to rip some CDs and listen to excellent music, in a high-quality audio format. For those of you who dо not know, ripрing a CD means copying the ѕоngs from the CD to your compυter'ѕ hаrd disk, or some other lоcation, in a different format than the one in which they are stored on the CD. Here іs how to quickly and reliably rip CDs, in Windows, with Windows Media Player:
Step 1. Take the audio CD and place it into your CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive
You may have an old computer with Windows 7 laying around or a new one with Windows 10 that has a DVD or Blu-Ray drive. Take the audio CD that you want to rip, and place it into the CD/DVD or Blu-Ray drive of your computer.
You should hear the disc spinning, meaning that the drive is reading its contents.
Step 2. Start Windows Media Player and access the audio CD
The next step is to start Windows Media Player. One quick way to do that is to use the search feature. Type "windows media player" in the search box, and click or tap the appropriate search result.
In the Windows Media Player app, click or tap on the name of the audio CD that you have plugged into your computer. In my case, I am going to rip an excellent album that made me fall in love with Pink Floyd: "The Division Bell." For each track, you should see its number, title, length, and contributing artist.
If you have an ancient audio CD with no information stored about the tracks on it, you can right-click anywhere on the list of tracks, and click "Find album info." Windows Media Player may be able to help and find the information that is missing. If it can't, you can edit the information yourself, type the title of each track, and so on.
Step 3. Choose the audio format for ripping the CD
By default, Windows Media Player rips your music using the MP3 format with low-quality audio settings. You may not want that. Click or tap the Rip settings button on the toolbar, go to Format and choose the audio format that you prefer.
What is the best format to rip audio CDs? That is up to you. If you are an audiophile, you should choose FLAC(Lossless) because it provides the best possible audio quality. However, this format uses a lot of disk space. For most people, MP3 is going to be the best choice, also because it is compatible with plenty of devices, including car stereos.
NOTE: If you use Windows 7, the FLAC option is not going to be available as a ripping format in Windows Media Player. This format is available in Windows 10.
Step 4. Choose the audio quality you prefer
If you choose MP3 or a format other than FLAC, you should also set the audio quality. In Windows Media Player, click or tap Rip settings, followed by Audio Quality, and the quality you prefer. For MP3 audio tracks, we recommend choosing 320 Kbps, as it offers the best sound quality available for this format.
One thing to remember is that the higher the audio quality you choose, the better the music is going to sound when you listen to it. However, it is also going to occupy more storage space. Therefore, it is best that you choose the audio quality that strikes the best balance between sound quality and the storage space.
Step 5. Choose where to save the ripped audio and what file names to use
By default, Windows Media Player rips your audio CDs to the Music library. You may want to change the location of your ripped music. To do that, click or tap Rip settings, followed by More options.
In the Options window, in the Rip Music tab, see the "Rip music to this location" field. It shows the location where all your music is going to be ripped. To change it, click or tap the Change button on the right, browse to the location you want, and click OK.
The default file name used for your ripped music is Track Number Song Title. For example, you may rip a track with the filename "11-High Hopes.mp3". If you want the file names to include things like the artist or the album name, and change the order of elements, click or tap the File Name button in the Options window.
Then, check the details that you want to include in file names: Artist, Album, Track Number, Song Title, Genre, and Bit rate. Then, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons on the right to change their order, and choose the separator that you want: space, dash, dot, underline or none. When you are done setting things, click or tap OK.
Click OK one more time, in the Options window.
Step 6. Rip the audio CD to your Windows computer
Now you have configured the ripping process according to your preferences. Click or tap the Rip CD button.
The ripping process starts and, for each track, you see the status. You can stop the ripping at any time, by clicking the Stop rip button.
In just a few minutes, all your audio tracks should be ripped and stored on your Windows computer, in the folder that you have set. Now it is time to listen to your music collection, at high-quality audio settings. Enjoy the nostalgia of the old days, when audio CDs were the way you listened to music. 🙂
