it again...if it comes in twice, you will know why!...JUDY
Advice from a friend......JUDY
No one should buy a stand alone cd recorder. Simply buy a cd burner for
your pc (cost next to nothing now). Then use Audiograbber to rip your vinyl
or cassette collection to mp3 on the pc hard drive. Then, drag all the
mp3's you want into your burning software (I recommend Nero) and create a
data cd. Hundreds of songs fit on one cd. Or burn them to an audio cd
which of course will hold far fewer songs. You'll need to do the latter if
you have to listen on a car cd player not able to read data cds. For home
use, just leave them on the hard drive and play them through your stereo.
What?? The pc is not at the center of your stereo system? It should be.
For mobile use, forget the outmoded cd and get an iPod or clone gizmo and
load it with your mp3's.
