LL, 95% of my music is in mp3 format and some are left in the reg, they all play when they are in itunes folder. You don't have to convert them I did because I put them on an IPod and because I would burn them to a cd for the car and I could get 22 songs on the CD instead of 10 or 12. I convert them to MP3 by using Roxio, but other software will do it also. I make a playlist in Itunes...under file, "new",name it, then copy and past the songs from my music folders to the playlists in ITunes. It may take some practice. I have a playlist for my favorite songs. When I hear one I really like, I copy and paste it in favorites. It will then be in my favorites and in songs. If I had it to do over I would copy and paste them straight to the playlist and they automatically goes to "songs". I had a lot of duplicates leaning how to do this. If I want to listen to one particular singer or all songs I click on the right option and I set the controls to random. You can delete any songs from the playlists. It will ask "from the computer or just the folder". I would suggest when you get this set up like you want it back the music folders so you don't have to do this all again. If you buy a new computer and need to install Itunes again it will/should install with your folders just like they were. Aren't computers wonderful? I don't travel any more and don't need an ipod so I bought a radio with an ipod dock and can listen to a thousand songs in random if I want. The radio is a Memorex and sounds as good as my Bose. Very nice. I love music, I call it therapy for the soul. My taste in music has changed over the years, I love some of all music.

I guess this isn't the problem then. I have WMP open and it doesn't even recognize that there is a disk in the Drive E. I first noticed this last week when I tried to rip some songs off a DVD. For instance if I put CD audio into Drive E, and choose "Rip" it tells me to insert a CD, and eventually ejects it. However I can play a DVD in the same Drive on WMP.

Lora, Open Music Match, insert your CD in your CD ROM and choose "rip from CD". Not sure how your Music Match interface is setup, but "rip from CD" is in the left column on mine.A record panel with appear, then choose the songs you want to rip and then press the record button. I just ripped 2 songs from a CD. Jean
