    What do you currently use to copy your CDs to your PC? If you use someting like windows media player, chance is that they are copied in WMA format. If it's some other ripper program, then the files are probably already in mp3 format. It could also be ogg format ( if you're a linux head ) or wav format ( if you have a terabyte of storage going begging ), but this is unlikely. Have a look at the files in windows explorer.

    If your files are mp3 or wma, most modern players should have codecs to play either format.

    hey all,
    i "think" some of the mp3 players that you buy will provide you with a little program that is used to convert the format of the cd to mp3 format.
