Not C++ but...

[JonathanK]

I know this isnt a C++ question but i cant seem to find a C# group, am
i blind?

So anyway to cut to the chase...

Im developing a music centre project for college and i was just
wondering could someone clear this up for me before i delve into it
further.

Is it possible to rip straight from a CD to .mp3 or .ogg using C#?
These are the only two format options i am allowed to use.
I have done a lot of searching and i am surprised that i couldnt find
any decent information on it. I have found lots of shareware
applications that do it so i have to assume that it can be done, its
just that no one wants to tell anyone how they did it!

At the minute im thinking off just ripping them as .wav's and then
automatically converting them to .mp3 and then deleting the original
..wav.
Yes this does sound crap and would take a lot of time in the
application, AND i would get an awful grade for it but at the minute
its all i can think off!

Any help appreciated!

Are there any free c# tooks or compilers?

Could be. 'microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp'. If your ISP
doesn't carry it, connect to 'msnews.microsoft.com' server.

This is off-topic, but there's Mono:
http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
which is Free Software as in <Free Speech>.

I believe Microsoft's compiler is available for free as well, in the
<Free Beer> sense. It's part of the .NET SDK, which, I think, is
available from the msdn website.

I assume you mean "books"? No idea, I've paid for all my books so far,
I'm not quite sure how to get around that. If you do, let me know.

You should ask in microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp (for VC#).
