Removing Songs From CD's to a Harddrive

[Laveyman]

Is there a way to take songs off a store-bought CD and copy them onto my harddrive? I'd like to make a CD of favorite songs from my CD's. I've tried, Morpheous, Napster, WinMx...and am tired of all the spyware and ad-ware they contain. I've got most of the songs I want, I just want to condense them so I don't have to listen to the 8 junk songs on a CD to hear the 2-3 good ones.

Here's a freebe for ya http://www.dbpoweramp.com/
it has a cd ripper mp3 encoder plus you can also download numerous codec pacs too . if you want to compile a audio cd from your favs . rip the songs from the cd to mp3 then in your burner program choose create audio CD. or however it states it .
add the mp3 tracks you just ripped to the burner program most are drag and drop . the burner program will reconvert the mp3s back to audio cd format

Can't you just drag them off the CD onto the hdd?
You may be limited to playback with WMP though.

Heres the problem with that, when you open a audio CD in a computer cd rom the list of tracks you see isnt the data rather (for the lack of simpler terms ) it's a director /shortcut/ instructions , usually about 1kb + - per track, telling a audio CD player where to find the CDA / data/ song CDA came along before the days of direct access such as MP3 data .The machine needs that extra set of instructions telling it where to look . Thats about as simple as I can put it .
