Rip your CDs to your collection in the Zune software. Go ahead and play some music in the Zune software while you rip CDs. You can even play the CD you're ripping.
Rip CDs
Put an audio CD into your CD drive. When the CD icon appears, click it to display a list of songs.
Clear the check box next to any song that you don't want to rip.
Click Start Rip.
If you put CDs into multiple CD drives on your computer, the additional CDs appear in the upper left corner of the CD view. Click the CD you want to rip.
Audio quality
You can adjust the compression quality used during ripping to balance between quality and file size. If you're not sure what settings to use, try ripping with different formats and bit rates, and then play the files.z
Adjust audio quality for ripped music
Click Settings, Software, Rip.
Make your selections on the Audio format and Audio quality menus.
Song information
In addition to music, song files contain information, including song title, track number, artist, and album name. As you rip songs, Zune gets the information from the Internet.
Change settings for song information
Click Settings, Software, Collection.
Decide how you want Zune to handle song information under Options. Choose one of the following:
Only add missing information. Information is added only for items that are missing data.
Replace all media information. Existing information is replaced with any new information from the Internet.
If infomation isn't available, you'll see generic track information (track 1, track 2, and so on). If the information is missing because your computer wasn't connected to the Internet during ripping, it should appear for newly ripped songs soon after you connect to the Internet. If it still doesn't appear, you can add information about the songs manually.
