MP3 players have revolutionized the way we listen to music. You can choose to listen to an entire CD played from start to finish; arrange collections of songs to fit your mood, from dance tunes to the blues; or let the machine randomly shuffle the songs in your files for a completely spontaneous experience. You can plug your MP3 player into speakers and listen to it at home or take you music with you wherever you go.But in order to take advantage of all these options, you first have to get your music collection into your MP3 player. This can be a stumbling block for many people, for different reasons. Some new MP3 owners are intimidated by the technology, while others understand how to transfer music from CDs to their MP3 player, but just don't have the time to do so.
If you've ever wished for a genie who would magically transfer your music from one medium to the other, here's the next best thing: the wizards at dmp3 Music offer personalized solutions for those making the transition to digital music. "Our goal is to help people make this transition as effortlessly as possible," says company president Dan McMinn.
The experts at dmp3 Music have the technical knowledge to convert CDs properly to the format of your choice, including mp3, AAC, WMA, Lossless, AIFF and WAV (if you don't know what that means, you probably need their services). "Having dmp3 Music rip my collection took the hassles out of converting my CDs to MP3," says customer Bruce Forgrieve of Belmont, Calif. "All of my music is now at my fingertips and I feel like I'm reconnecting with old friends as I listen to tracks I haven't heard in years."
"We deliver super high quality, cleaned, organized digital libraries that are built to order and essentially ready to plug and play," says McMinn. The service is easy to use - simply visit the company's Web site to place your order online and they'll guide you from there. You can pack and ship the CDs yourself, or request a shipping kit from the company that includes materials designed especially for safely mailing CDs.
Pricing is based on the number of CDs you're having converted, and on any additional services you request. If you have any additional questions about encoding or the process, you can contact the company via the Web site for a free phone consultation. Within days, you'll have your music library delivered to you on a hard drive or data DVD. "For a typical CD library, if someone were to spend an hour a day converting CDs to a digital format, it could take them weeks or even months to complete the task," says McMinn.
If you're still figuring out the world of digital music, the staff at dmp3 Music offers complete iPod and iTunes instruction and tutorials that let you harness the power of your digital music library. The company also offers gift certificates, which are great for friends and family who are unfamiliar with all the bells and whistles of digital music players, or who simply don't have the time to transfer all their CDs to digital format themselves.
As an added benefit, once the folks at dmp3 Music are familiar with your tastes, they can put together lists of recommended music by genre, fueled by their extensive love and knowledge of all things musical. Or, if you don't have time to shop for music, they can do it for you by adding great music to your digital library that you'll love. They'll also design playlists for your personal use or business that are easy to use and edit.
