Copy it onto your computer,then add it to your playlist on media player.press to copy to device.plug in your mp3 player in the usb port,And when its running(on mp3)copy it.

i know the process of putting it on my mp3 player.

the problem is getting it into mp3 format in the first place.

There is software you can get to do this. Have a look at http://www.imtoo.com/dvd-audio-ripper.html although it is shareware, don't know the restrictions. That'd be the easiest. Next easiest would be to record it to hard disk as you play it. You probably got some software that'll record to disk with your sound card or cd writer. Then you'll either be good to go 'cos it'll have recorded in mp3, or you'll have to rip it to mp3 with your usual ripper.

I use a program called Freecorder,available free from
www,freecorder.com Basically it records whatever is played through your sound card,in Mp3 format ,so just play your DVD on your PC and record the sound and then burn to CD if required.

A potential problem with recording anything that goes through your sound card is that if you, for example, click on anything then any audible "mouse click" sounds (or ANY Windows/program sounds in addition to the audio that you're after) will be recorded.
The "converter" programs are better and the site below has a few of them (possibly including the one mentioned)

Download stepvoice recorder from snapfiles.com

This will record any sound on your pc to mp3.

It works its the only one that did out of about ten different recorders i tride,
