Is there a free download on transferring my audio CDs to MP3 or WAV form so I can listen to them on the Curve?

get a micro SD 1-8 gigs..use your USB cord from PC to blackberry phone. Browse the folder file on your phone Look for ringtone folder..etc.. and just drag and drop files to the correct folder.

I wrote this for another guy wondering the exact procedure:
Firstly, I highly recommend investing in a micro sd card for the device. 8gb is not supported yet (unless running a version higher then 4.2) but anything up to 4gb is fine. Take your itunes music that you want on the phone and enter in a playlist. In Itunes select "edit" then "preferences". When a new window pops up click on the "advanced" tab in the top bar then in the new window select "burning." Now select the cd burner, if not selected already, then make sure the Disc Format is in the "Audio CD" option. Click ok and exit out of the window then right click on the playlist name and click burn to disc. When the disc is burnt, open Windows media player. In wmp menu hover over rip, click on the arrow and for the "format" select mp3. Other options include importing quality and in "advanced options" you can select the file where the music should be saved to. I use a sup-folder in the windows music folder. Now when that is completed open the folder where you sent the songs and their they will be. They will not have a name just track 1... name the files via artist - song name (do not forget the space between the words and the dash). This will make it show up properly on the phone. After that open desktop manager then media manager. In media manager you can click and draq in your music from your other directory to media manager. When you select a song in media manager and right click it select "audio tags." You will now be able to name the song and add album artwork. If you get a media card for the blackberry install the card, enter the media card options on the phone and make sure to format the card. Naming is not required but makes everything look much better. If all steps are completed, in the media manager the lower half shows the phone (make sure its connected) and select the media card then music sub-folder. Select the songs in the upper-half of media manager click the "copy down" button and then select "convert for optimal playback." If all was done correctly, you will now have a device that is just as good as an ipod for listening to music or watching movies. I have had much trouble with music on my phone and this is a sure-proof way for 100% success. It is a lot of steps but I was able to load 1000 songs with album artwork to my phone in 1.5 hours. If you have any questions because these are not formal directions feel free to send me a message via blackberryforums. Good Luck!
