He's not a techno bod so I assume he'd rather have MP3s although it'd be nice if it could manage other formats as well |

Shame he isn't on Win7. It comes with a very good DVD writer built in. |

For burning DVDs try http://cdburnerxp.se/ For ripping to mp3, there's no end of choice. I'm not sure what you mean by "batch converter", but most media software will take a CD, look it up and rip it to mp3 in a suitable format arranged in folders by artist and album. Windows Media Player is the obvious example, or *spit* itunes if they're so inclined. |

i use a piece of software called dBpoweramp to rip CDs. It also contains a batch transcoding program, which i have never used, but seems relatively simple to use. as for DVD burning - i dont think theres anything imgBurn cant do with optical media ![]() |
