Hi all, Here is a little tutorial which I wrote for the program CDEX. I hope it
is helpful to some of you. If you have any questions, feel free to put them out
on the list and I'll do my best to answer them. Brian. What is CDEX CDEX is
software that is used to rip (extract) music tracks from a CD to your hard
drive on your pc. These tracks can then be transferred to a portable media
device, such as an mp3 player, or burned to another CD to make a compilation.
They can be extracted in the form of WAV or MP3 files. Installing CDEX You can

to a location on your hard drive.2. go to the place where the file is stored,
and press enter on it.3. this begins the install process for the cdex
