make sure all the tracks you want ripped have a tick in the box, unchecked box will not be ripped...
When you are happy with all the settings, click the 'start rip' at the bottom left corner,
Go make yourself a coffee, by the time you get back the album would have been ripped to the WMP library
and to your specified folder where you can access it and play to check for any errors,
If all is good, time to make that torrent Grin
Each time you rip a disc after this, the settings should remain the same, but always have a quick check
on the 'format' and 'bitrate' that they are on mp3 @ 320kbps, before ripping, this can save you time
just in case they have been changed, which can happen now and again....
Advise
When turning music ripped on WMP into a torrent always check the files contained,
and edit out any unwanted ones, WMP does have a habit of placing hidden 'ini' files
and the like in the folders, they are harmless but annoying for the downloader...
