Some software performs a single task, stops, and lets another program take over. CD rippers, for example, copy music from your CD onto your hard drive. The encoders then go to work, converting the extracted WAV files into MP3s.
Musicmatch Jukebox by contrast, plans the menu, cooks the meal, and delivers it to the table. When you insert the CD and click a button, a window appears, listing the song titles. Click the songs you want encoded, and the software automatically converts them into MP3s.
The program can even record files from albums, stopping to separate record tracks into separate songs. It converts MP3s into WAV files and then burns them onto a CD for you to play in your car or home stereo. It can even download MP3s into your portable MP3 player.
Looking for Internet radio stations? Musicmatch not only tunes them in, but also creates them based on your personal tastes. To sample the best that MP3 has to offer, you needn't go further than Musicmatch.
Musicmatch Jukebox works on any version of Windows from Windows 98 through Windows XP, but you need a Pentium III or Pentium 4 processor and at least 128MB of RAM. If your system doesn't meet these specifications, the software will probably give up during the installation process. Finally, some older CD-ROM drives can't handle ripping. If your drive has trouble, it may need an upgrade.
Two different versions of Musicmatch are available: The Basic version is free, and the Plus version sets you back a one-time fee. (Of course, the Plus version offers all sorts of enhanced features, like faster ripping and CD burning, the ability to print labels, and even a built-in slideshow mode that displays images with your music.)
