If someone sends me a CD of mp3 files they burned

Is it an audio CD (i.e. playable on any CD player), or is it a CD full of mp3 files?

In both cases, you'll be able to import them into iTunes, but if it's the former, you'll need to enter the song info by hand.

And maybe even the latter, if the mp3s don't have tag info.

Thanks! I can do that (or not, since I have been known to be lazy and just leave songs as "track one").

Tivo question:

so I am finally getting a new hard disk from weaknees. Should be here tomorrow. I opted to replace my current hard drive rather than getting a second one.

Has anyone done this? I know it erases everything, so I've been taking down the season passes, copying over some programs I want to keep. I've taken down the wishlists and some program ratings (though clearly I'll be starting all over here).

Anything else I should do?

I know it erases everything

I thought there's ways to mount the old and new drives onto your PC and copy everything over.

What do you mean "taking down"? Do you mean taking notes?

I'm taking them down dammit!

Yes, I actually have a Word document where I typed everything out. It really didn't take a lot of time.

Sorry, my first thought was that you were deleting them (like taking down a dog? I don't know how my brain works sometimes), and I wondered why. But then I realized what you probably meant.

Well, my language, I admit, was overly aggressive for no good reason. :-)

I need your brrrraaaaaiiiins.

I'm working on a project that involves setting up a podcast, and need some advice.

How do you do it? What's involved? What equipment and software do you need? Can you set it up so it can also stream to other players, like Quicktime?

Also, what are your most favorite podcasts?

All help appreciated.

Recording hardware and software. I've had Audacity recommended to me but I haven't used it. Once you've recorded it you need to port it into a useable format like MP3. Then you need a server to host it on.
