Buffistas

I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

2) any protected file such as songs you buy directly from the iTunes music store because other folks' computers won't be able to play them.

okay this is driving me CRAZY because I didn't realize this (der..it's like I'm just entering this century in some ways) until after I figured out the PERFECT NO OTHER SONG WILL DO song for one of the categories. And I don't have it on cd and I can't find the cd anywhere local and I don't have time to order it. I may have to leave the spot blank until I can get the cd delivered. But I did get it from iTunes so i've been listening to it and there's no way I can't use it. grrr.

ETA ooh i'ma try the workaround

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

That is a successful workaround, because the conversion from aac/mp3/whatever files to CDA effectively removes everything except the musical data, even (suckily) the ID3 tags.

I'm about 9 tracks away from finishing. Woot.

PS: Tina, can you forward me that email with the passwords too? Thanks.

No problem.

I have to post mine today and I am missing 3 categories and have no liner notes done. I still think I can make it before midnight.

Woops, who's got the link for the schedule and the categories handy?

SA you didn't move since the last time I asked you for your address did you? (CPO 1455)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The ID3 tags are the stuff like song title, artist, and album that are displayed by iTunes, WinAmp, iPods, or other music software. That information is stored in the mp3 (or wma, etc.). CDs are different. The digital files on a CD don't have that information, so when you burn an mp3 to a CD, you lose it all. That means when you rerip those tracks to mp3, you'll have to type in the title and artist info manually.

That is a successful workaround

You do lose some quality though, and increase the chance of having audible artifacts appear (odd pops and the like).
