Zeus,
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to burning CD's, so naturally I have a few questions.
#1 under the Rip Tab Audio quality Smallest size or Best Quality or somewhere in between
#2 Does the 80 minutes of music on a CD equal the amount of time it will take to rip.
Thanks

Probably somewhere in between is best. the 128 kbps is a good compromise. In reality, you probably aren't going to hear the difference anyway because you'll have your helmet on and there will be wind and engine noice. But if you take your disk and play it on a home stereo for example you might notice a lower quality if it was ripped at "smallest size". So pick the middle setting, 128 is good.
It only takes a minute or so to rip an entire music CD. I suppose it depends on the player that is conneced to your pc, but the modern ones run 48 times or 72 times faster than normal, so count on a minute or two per CD.

right out of Windows Explorer:
1. open Explorer and go to the directory where the music you want to burn to a CD is stored.
2. Hit Ctrl-A to hightlight all the songs (hold down the Ctrl key to deselect songs you don't want)
3. right click on the highlighted songs and you'll see a message balloon that tells you that you have files waiting to be written to the CD. Click the balloon then choose "write these file to CD".
4. You can then put in a CD name (you don't have to do this), click "next" and choose "make data CD". You're done!!
I've found this is less confusing to those of us that are "easily amused, easily confused".

If you can't see the option then just go ahead and try it out. You might waste a disk. I wasted about 6 before I finally got it right.
On my work PC we have media player 9. It looks a bit different than my home pc but I found the option. This version of the media player has a row of items down the left side "now playing", "media guide", "copy from cd", "copy to cd" etc.
I clicked on "copy to CD", then over near the top right of the window there is a little button with a "!" excmation point on it. It gives you a panel where you can set the audio quality and click on an option that says "Write playlist to CD as M3U (audio only)". This is what you need.
