I own a Mach Speed Trio TCH-843 that I purchased at Wal-Mart to copy MP3 files on as well as about 20 old DVDs that I own. The player has a capacity of 8 GB and I have already used about 4 GB for MP3 files. Can I use Easy Media Creator 2009 to convert and compress these files enough to make it worthwhile?

Thanks very much to anyone who can help me.

If the 20 old dvds are commercial ones, you can't do anything with them w/ Creator 2009 except watch them with Cineplayer.  Maybe you mean 20 cds?

Why don't you put some of those non-protected DVDs on a MicroSD memory card?  Roxio would be able to help you transfer them to the memory card.  Those cards are inexpensive and small so you can put a couple of DVDs on one card.

Remember that you cannot discuss any programs you have to illegally bust the DRM protected (your earlier July post).

Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.
