Two options:

1. As separate CD's:
- Rip each CD.
- Transfer the result of each CD to your player.

2. Combined
- Rip each CD.
- Put all mp3's in one folder
- Transfer the contents of that folder to your player

What goes wrong with option 1? What goes wrong with option 2?

must convert what is on the cd/s to some format that your mp3 player will support. Obviously mp3 will be ok...beside some other formats.
