  Step 1:  Insert the Music CD

Open a Report
Place the CD you want to convert to MP3s in your CD-ROM drive.
  Step 2:  Open Record Window

Open a Report
Click the record/play CD icon at the left side of RealJukebox. You will see a listing of the music tracks on the CD in your drive.
  Step 3:  Get CDDB Information

Open a Report
If you haven't configured RealJukebox to retrieve the descriptions of the CD tracks automatically from the CDDB, you can select "Get CD Info" from the Edit menu. If you are connected to the Internet, this will query the CDDB and fill in the information.
  Step 4:  Manually Enter Information

Open a Report
If you are unable to connect to the CDDB, you can still set the track names yourself. Highlight a track and select Rename from the Edit menu in order to type in the correct values.
  Step 5:  Pick Tracks to Record

Open a Report
Click the checkbox marking each of the songs from the CD that you want to record as MP3 files.
  Step 6:  Begin Recording

Open a Report
Press the Record button. As each track is converted to an MP3 file, the status bar will be updated.
  Step 7:  Check Music Library

Open a Report
As the MP3 files are created, they will be organized in the Music Library. Click the Music Library icon and play your new MP3 files when the recording process has finished.
