Hi Puppy Breath, You are right, I need to learn basic skills in windows. I just don't know where to aquire them!! I tried to leave the media player out of the picture and went into my music files. But when I tried to drag them into explorer, the computer went right into the media player, and burned a standard disc!! Windows Vista sucks!! Maybe I wasn't in explorer, I don't know!! ...

I Have Windows Vista, And I have not found a way to burn Cd's to MP3 format. I CAN burn standard format, however. I have ripped CD's to MP3 format, so I should think that when I burn a disc that was ripped to MP3 format it would burn it to disc in the same format, but it doesn't. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I've just done a clean install of Vista Business and SP1 (32 bit) onto a Lenovo ThinkPad X61. All went well, except that I can't create a dial-up connection for either the internal modem or a PCMCIA 3G card.
