Winamp question

Can I use Winamp to copy music onto my C: from a store bought compact disc/ commercailly produced CD?
Or, more generally, how do I copy music onto my C: from a store bought compact disc?
Can I use a CD-ROM? or do I need a CD-writer to get music from a disc onto my computer?
(Any format is fine: .mp3, .wav, or any other.)

Convert them to mp3s.

Makes for hours of easy, no CD-changin’ listening. You can also, then, import all your MP3s into winamp and create a randomized playlist.

Works great.
