It's really, really simple! Do you have iTunes? Windows Media Player? MusicMatch Jukebox? RealPlayer? Any number of programs will rip a CD for you. Hell, if you insert the CD into your computer, Windows will likely suggest how to rip it.
No, that part I can handle; it's getting it from there to somewhere else. I can burn a disk easy enough, but I've never done any file-sharing type activities.

Hee. Since I have a Mac, that's unlikely.
Your iTunes will rip a CD into the destination you tell it in Preferences. I don't think much of the default AAC settings, so I recommend that you set it to rip as MP3s at at least 192 kbps. You can use StuffIt to compress the folder into a zip or rar file. You can then use rapidshare or a similar upload/storage website to upload the compressed file and share that link with friends.

See, I understood about a quarter of that. Maybe. I know it's probably not difficult once you know how, but me=lazy. Plus, apart from the board, and random info as I need it, I'm pretty computer avoidy at home.
Seriously? If our house financing had fallen apart? I was TOTALLY going to console myself by running away and spending a few thousand dollars for the chance to see Cohen live.
and I was kinda bummed when we closed on time
I think I've linked some of this woman's work here, she's doing a series of portraits based on puns off of famous people's names. she's done a bunch of musicians. today's killed me:

Well I don't think he's announced US dates, so your chance might be coming.
This I understand a lot.
This is why I never bothered to get an iPod. The thought of having to sit there and rip my collection was too tedious to contemplate. This is the big downside to being on a computer all day - I'm burnt out on it by the time I get home.
ETA, the fact that my computer is in one room, all my music and stereo is in a second room, and my TV and videos/dvds are in a third also doesn't help. Much as I love, Love, LOVE having space, there were some benefits to being in a convenience apartment.
And see, I would totally hire myself out to rip in people's music all day. iPod setter-upper.
