Solved

Hello, I would like to record my CDs onto a USB stick. My My Connect 60 system does have a USB port but apparently only for playing music from the stick, not for recording a CD onto the stick. How can I do that?

    Hello,

    Use FREAC (formerly BonkEnc)

    https://www.freac.org/downloads-mainmenu-33

    The ideal output format is .FLAC, as it preserves the original audio quality while being in a lossless compressed format. (It can be re-converted)

    If any of your players cannot read them, there is .MP3 (very popular but of lower quality)

    Also, a USB drive is not 100% reliable, so keep your CDs!

        There are USB Burners for CDs, DVDs, and BDs or BDXL

        You can connect it to any PC that provides enough power through the USB port or 2 ports; often there is a Y cable to have 2 USBs for more power, burning consumes more than reading.

        You're welcome,

    Hello,

    You need to use a computer, so you need a CD/DVD drive.

    Then I use Windows Media Player (old version). This program is still available in Windows 11.
    It allows extraction in many formats (mp3, flac, wav).

    What we conceive well is expressed clearly,
    And the words to say it come easily.

      Thank you. The problem is that my computer doesn't have a CD drive. I thought I could record directly from my sound system to a USB stick, but apparently that's not possible...

    Hello,

    You therefore cannot if you do not have a PC with an internal or external CD drive and the appropriate software to extract the tracks as long as DRM-type rights do not prevent it.
