Use WMP; Copy CD Collection to Less Physical Storage Devices
Hi:
First time using Windows Media Player, WMP. I want to copy my collection of 32 music-CDs to DVDs and to copy to USB thumb drives . I am uncertain how to proceed.
Goal 1: Burn 32-individual CDs to 4- (or 5-) DVDs; easier storage in my car.
Question 1: How do I use WMP to burn several CDs to a single DVD?
Question 2: Will WMP pause to allow me to insert the next CD?
I think I was in WMP (not in iTunes): When using the Burn tab, I was prompted to select one of two choices on how I want to use the DVD: either [1] like a USB drive, or [2] use with a CD/DVD player.
Question 3: How do I get back to the screen that showed me that prompt for choosing either [1] or [2].
Question 4: I do not know which to choose, [1] or [2]. What should I consider when making this choice?
I presume that my 2013 HONDA ACCORD's audio system is capable of playing CD-music files transferred onto a DVD. I have not tested this yet, because I am not familiar with WMP's method for burning several CDs to DVDs.
If Goal 1 is not possible, then:
Goal 2: Transfer 32-individual CDs to a 32-GB USB thumb drive.
I think one 32-GB USB drive (I have several available) can store my CD-music files, but I am uncertain about the required format and sampling rate to use when ripping to USB. I think the format must be MP3. (I must investigate this further; and read the ACCORD's Owner's Manual.)
Question 5: Since the USB drive is 32-GB, can I use a better format, other than MP3, and a higher sampling rate?
Help! and TNX.
Regards,
VinceB.
