 This document describes how to make your own and very personal [[Hyperradio_Musicpacks|Musicpack]] for the [[Hyperradio_js_OXP|Hyperradio]] and is not meant as a explanation on how-to-rip-my-CDs. There are a lot of programs - and even free cross-platform progs - out there with specific documentation, related to that point. However, making your own [[Hyperradio_Musicpacks|Musicpack]] is very easy. A complete [[Hyperradio_Musicpacks|Musicpack]] with 5 songs can be done within a few minutes! You should be familiar with creating folders and files (that's the basics of OS handling) and you will need two tools to do it:
-. A texteditor (you can use the texteditor that comes with your OS) - for example Notepad, Wordpad or use external tools like Notepad++.<br>
+. A texteditor (you can use the texteditor that comes with your OS) - for example Wordpad or use external tools like Notepad++.<br>
 . A soundeditor - for example Audacity to cut, edit and convert your files to Ogg-vorbis.
 That's all you need - eh, except maybe a clue where you could get some audio-files. But that's not a real problem, or is it?<br><br>
