If you love listening to music in our Alachua, Florida apartments, but don’t have digital copies of your favorite songs, you may want to look into it. Sure, compact discs and tapes might be small and have the capacity to store a lot of information, but they simply cannot compare to digital music files. Digital music never gets scratched, can easily be stored in one device, and you will have a hard time losing it when it’s backed up on a computer. To digitize your music collection, all you need is your music in CD form and a computer with a disc drive.

Follow these steps for easy digitizing of your music collection:

Download a music storage program on your computer such as iTunes or Winamp.

• Insert one of your CDs into your computer’s disc drive. An on-screen menu will ask you if you would like to add the CD music to your library. Select yes, and allow a few minutes for the music to be copied into your computer’s music library.
• When the CD has finished copying, the program will alert you. At this time, remove the CD that was just copied and copy another one.
• Repeat the process until you have copied all of your music onto your computer.
• If you have an established Internet connection when copying your music to your computer, the songs and artists will be correctly recognized and named for you. However, if your music files transfer to your computer without a name, you can always edit them manually to better organize your collection by artist name, song name, etc.
• And most importantly, once you’re done, enjoy your new digitized music collection!

Before you know it, you’ll have all your favorite music copied in digital format just in case those CDs of yours get scratched or lost.
