Dumb

Some articles / pages on the Internet are beyond my comprehension. For example, if you are titling your page "How to Convert to MP3 With Windows Media Player," why would you have a tip at the bottom that says "This procedure will likely only work for .WMA or .WAV files."

The title indicates the article's subject is converting to MP3 but the tip says the procedure "will likely only work for .WMA or .WAV files."

That's like saying, "In order to reuse the same words across multiple documents, follow this procedure" and then having a tip that says "This procedure will likely only work for graphics."

I was so dumbfounded I pasted the text from the article below. The original page is here.

How to Convert to MP3 With Windows Media Player

Submitted by Jason Gordon

Windows Media Player is built-in to Windows and is not a very powerful software application. It is primarily designed to rip Audio CDs to WMA or MP3 formats and play them back. This means your options are to either use Windows Media Player to burn a CD and then rip to MP3 or find a program that will convert to MP3 without wasting CDs.

The Main Steps

Open Windows Media Player. Insert a Blank CD and choose "Burn" from the menu. Select "Audio CD."
Add the audio files that you want to convert to the Now Playing Field.Click on "Start Burn."
Click on "Rip" when the CD is finished. Select the "MP3" format from the drop-down Menu. Click on "Start Rip."

THINGS YOU'LL NEED

• CD-Rs

TIPS & WARNINGS

• This procedure will likely only work for .WMA or .WAV files. To convert from other file types, try one of the programs listed in the "Resources section."
