Okay, I've got a CD that I really want to put into my iPod. Except that my PC won't read the disc. It's not copy protected or anything. Disc is clean, no scratches, PC just won't read it.

So I took the disc to my guitarists place, and it reads perfectly on his machine. So he made a copy of it, using Windows Media Player.

Now I get home and try to load it, the PC reads it, but it won't go into iTunes because its all in WMA format. %&*#$(@)&$()&@!!!!

Any help here would be really appreciated guys!!!!

Download GoldWave and then save each WMA as MP3. You'll probably have to download a codec to do this if your computer doesn't have it already. But, GoldWave will tell you which one you need (and you can google it) if you don't have it.

What you should have done is used your friend's machine to rip the tracks to WAV files, the used a program like Roxio to burn the WAV files to a new audio CD. Then you could import without any loss, but you would have to enter the band/track info manually.

Any idea why your machine won't read the CD? That sounds odd... maybe it is a poorly executed multimedia CD?
