So could you tell me specifically the fastest way?
Download WinAmp then the lame plugin, then in winamp click options-preferences-plugins-output-lame mp3 (I'm assuming this would show up there after I download it)? How and at what step would i use the visualisation plug in?

Thank you so much for the help and thanks to everyone who has worked to figure this out. I recently got divorced and lost my entire CD collection and now need to rebuild from scratch.
