Hi. I thought I'd pass on some info about your thoughts on a music CD.
You can all make your own CDs, individualized for your tastes. You need a web site that offers downloads of MP3 music, a program to convert the MP3s to WAV, and a CD burner.
Sites for the most music include Audiogalaxy.com, audiognome.com, winmx.com, or kazaa.com. All the programs are free to download and use. They all have
search engins you can specify Thunderbird, car, or whatever else you like. You are searching for actual song titles or artists. Audiogalaxy does have copyright protection for some songs, but they usually offer the best quality of music. All are user friendly.
Software for converting MP3 (smaller file size) to WAV (for normal music CD) usually comes with whatever CD burner you have. If your computer is relatively new or you have used the CD burner already, you probably already know this. IMHO, the easiest to use is Roxio's Easy CD Creator. It saves hard drive space because it does not have to save the converted WAV music to burn the CD. It also is drag and drop and very user friendly.
The other option would be to take individual songs from your existing CDs to make a "Greatest Hits" collection. Again, most CD burners have the software for this as well.
Most music is copyrighted which means it is illegal to sell or distribute it beyond your own personal use. At least for now though, you can still share the music with users through the file share programs I listed above.
I suspect most people posting her already know all this information, but for those who don't, I hope this helps. Please feel free to e-mail me if I can offer any assistance. I'm no expert, but I've been working with MP3s for a few years now.
Good luck, and enjoy your music.
