You can download shareware version of AltoMP3 maker from this site. With unregistered version you can rip first 12 songs of the CD. To convert Mp3 to .wav you can use winamp by selecting the little icon in the top left corner and go:
Options->Preferences->Output
change it to
Nullsoft Disk writter plug-in......etc
select the folder you want the file converted into, open the file and play. Few thing to remember : You won't hear the song while it's converting it, if you have more than one song in playlist it will go onto the next one and it will convert it to, make sure that 'REPEAT' button is off so it doesn't keep converting over and over and over... get my drift? After you're done go back into output and change it back to what it was before.

: i was wondering how i conver real audion into and mp3 i run a intel linux mandrake 8.0.i need detailed description please email me to respond or tellme an URL where to go and find software for this task.

At the moment there isn't much that needs DirectX 8. My previous experience with 8
was that it caused problems with some of my older software.

Until it becomes necessary, I'd stick with 7

: I am looking for a music notation program that is relatively simple to use. I have a program that is so complex it is ridiculous and the manual is overly technical and tells you to do certain steps but not how to do them. Anybody got anything?

I use Voyetra's Digital Orchestrator Pro.
It is available on line for a resonable price and is easy to use. It comes with a series of videos that explain how to use the program and it is very user friendly.

It's not the file format you need to worry about, it's finding music that has been recorded especially for karaoke use - without the vocal part. It's almost impossible to remove the vocals from normal music. If you search the internet, there are several sites that specialise in karaoke music.

I have found that it's often the addition of monitoring a sound while you are playing it that makes it confusing on the performer. If you are singing then, don't monitor the vocal as it will put you off.

You can calculate latency by playing a simple drum sound on the beat and then record it as an audio track as well. Line up the midi information and the audio recorded information and work out how far out the latency is. The result will be relevant to the source you are using and that may change depending whether your source is coming from a main mixing desk or an acoustic source. Monitoring the sound will create latency to your ears so calculate with your eyes where possible.

Once the delay has been calculated, you could advance all the recorded tracks so as when you sing, you will hear everything a little earlier than it should be, (other than the vocal of course) offsetting the latency. Alternatively, buy the lowest latency soundcard you can find and rid yourself of the problem... Or at least, most of it...

It may be that the laser pickup in the Discman isn't up to the job.
Some CD players simply aren't capable of reading information off CD-Rs,
as it's not recorded the same way as a normal audio CD.

Chances are you've got the MP3 file encoded at 128Kbps. If you want to sacrifice a bit of quality for bandwidth, re-encode at 96Kbps. if this answer doesn't make sense to you. I'd read up some more on MP3. You'll find a good page <a href="http://www.mp3machine.com/glossary/">here</a>.

Your other option would be to convert the file to WMA, which will create a smaller file at around the same audio quality. Programs like <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/WMA_Encoder/">WMA decoder/encoder</a> might be worth checking out.
