How to Change a CD to a MP3 With a Converter

MP3 files have become one of the most popular audio formats. The files can be stored on computers, mobile phones or MP3 players. The files are much smaller in size than CD audio files, because the MP3 format eliminates audio frequencies that cannot be heard by human ears. You can convert a compact disc to MP3 format using your computer and iTunes music software.
