Go to Windows Media Player.
Use the "rip music" function to copy all CD content to the hard drive in the form of music files.
Go to http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Download and install the program.
Open it and click File >> Open.
Browse to where WMPlayer ripped the music (usually my documents/my music/unknown author/...)
Open the file you want.
Click File >> Extract as Wav
Save As Wave

Lol didn't think before I spoke, I tried it and that didn't work either. Try going to Import >> Raw Data.

download this

<ul><li><a href="http://154.ca/otr/files/cdex_151.zip">cdex_151.zip</a></li></ul>

and save directly as wav file

You can play around with the wav settings or just open the file in windows sound recorder and convert it right there.

What song and band is it?

thanks

im a rock person and sense its the ACMTR WFs, gotta have a awsome song, im not going to have no heavy music with bad words or anything, maybe disturbed (no bad words in it) seether, godsmack, shinedown, just something that can get a good beat going and everyone can enjoy it as we tear this track up

man im about to give up lol, everything i try to do wont work...im going to tell you what im doing and u can see if anything is wrong...i alrdy got my ripped song. i open the CDex.exe, i run it, then i goto Convert then Convert Compressed Audio Files(s) to WAV files. then i got my songs i ripped in there, i pushed convert. now it says they are wav files but when i goto play it, i cant, it says that i dont have the supported files or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file....

im about to give up, i cant do anything right latly lol

Put the cd in the drive, use cdex to rip to wav. You don't need to convert.

it works but its still making me mad lol, its a .wav and i can listen to it but when i put it in the game, another song plays, this is #4 on one of my cds, it plays #2, and for the #2, i didnt even make it a .wav, its messing with me lol

Now that you have it in wav format, check this page out

http://cownap.com/~mtmg/sound.html

Open in windows sound recorder, set it as 11 kHz, 8 bit, Mono and you should be good to go. Don't forget to save ;-)

this is my last question...every song i try to put in the game, it plays #2 on the cd i used, i tryed like 4 different cds and they all played the #2 song on the cd, how do u stop that?

thanks [bump]

Post by **Phineus** » Thu Nov 24, 2005 9:17 pm

In the game > on the menu > options > sound > Play CD Tracks (make sure it's not checked)

kpayne89 · Post by **kpayne89** » Thu Nov 24, 2005 9:48 pm

i cant believe this....now it wont even play a song....this is just stupid now. someone sent me a song a lil while ago and it worked fine in the game....but my cd song wont play if i uncheck it, and if it is checked, it plays the #2 track. everything i do to it just back fires on me, just plain stupid...

hehehehe, i just thought of a clever idea, i will make a cd, put acouple songs on it and make the song i want #2 so sense it only plays #2, it will play that song....hehehe

If you hear no music it's because the file in the track is the wrong format. If you don't hear the cd, it's because we just turned cd music off. After all, you said no matter what happened, that you heard track 2 on the cd. Well, that's no good if you want to hear your track music, right? Okay, so we turn the cd off until we fix the track music. Once that's done you can turn the cd back on if you want to.

If you tell what song and band you want, maybe somebody can set it up for you.

after looking and listening for a good song, i found a good band and a awsome song that ppl can rock to while racing...its "Glass Shatters" by my favorite band Disturbed, i dont think its been released on their cd but made the WWF Forceable Entry. its a wrestling cd from i think 01 or 02
