How do you create a MP3 file?

To convert songs from a CD or wav to mp3 file format you will need a CD ripping software program. If you want to convert a song that is in another file format such as: aac, aiff, aif, amr, ape, au, flac, gsm, m3u, m4a, mpc, off, pls, raw, rss, spx, vox, wma, and wpla you could use an MP3 converter. I like NCH Software that has free downloads and is easy to use.

For Windows, the free CD ripping software can be found at: http:/www.nch.com.au/rip/index.html and for mac or Windows an MP3 Converter can be found at http://www.nch.com.au/switch/mp3.html.
