In this Winamp tutorial we show you how to Rip a CD using the Winamp Media Player. The tutorial also covers encoding options (AAC, AAC+, FLAC, WMA, WAV, etc), how to manually edit CD Information, as well as how to set your CD Ripping Preferences.




For more information you can visit the Winamp help docs and do a search on "Rip" or "Ripping". There you'll find detailed information on "Ripping Music with Winamp", "Burning Tracks to CDs", "General Preferences", & "Saving CDs to your PC".

There are a bunch of different ways you can create and edit playlists in Winamp. This video shows you how to create a standard playlist, as well as how to use the Playlist Editor. It also teaches you how Winamp can dynamically generate a playlist for you.

Learn how to include streaming audio in your Winamp playlists. In other words, you don't even need to have the song in your media library, as long as you know the streaming url. Don't know what a streaming url is... don't worry, we'll show you how you can use the 'Now Playing' feature to add songs from across the web.

Finally, if you're a purist and don't like the idea of a playlist and would rather learn how to shuffle all songs in Winamp, we show you that as well!

Have Fun!

From some of what we've been hearing, there are people who seem to think Winamp's really complicated. But it's not... trust me. It's very straight forward. This video is geared towards the brand new Winamp user. It shows you how to add music to your Winamp media library, how to customize the Bento skin to view album art, and how to upload album art (in case some is missing).

Enjoy...
