Can I transfer my OpenMG files on computer to mp3?

I have transferred all of my music files to my minidisk (NHF 800). I would love to copy the files on the computer to an MP3 disc also to play in my car. Unfortunately, all of the tracks are saved in OpenMG. Is there a way to burn these onto a cd in mp3 format? I can only seem to burn them in .wav, which would take too many cds. Thanks in advance.

Since Sony still prevents free use of OpenMG material, you are going to have to play the recorded music on your computer and digitally capture it using your sound card's wave out mix along with recording software. (Total Recorder has been mentioned a few times here) It is annoying to take the trouble to do such a thing but it's the best solution there is until Sony releases the .wav extractor for analog recordings (which we have no idea when exactly.... but "in fall").

Now, is there a way to get it to record each track in Sonic Stage as a separate mp3, or do I need to manually start and stop each track and save them all, which will require me to sit at the computer for a lot of time?

You'll have to record each track individually. It's quite time-consuming, I know.

The best thing you could probably do would be to just directly rip your CDs again and encode them in MP3 (I suggest 256kbps LAME-encoded MP3, which sounds the best) saving you the hassle of having to do it in real-time.

I suggest you to read the list of recommended Lame settings and versions. It also features a guide about setting up EAC to rip using those settings. The settings provided there are also suggested by Lame developers.
