Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

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.

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

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

Well I don't think he's announced US dates, so your chance might be coming.

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

And see, I would totally hire myself out to rip in people's music all day. iPod setter-upper.

I think there are already people out there doing this, so it's not necessarily an impossible dream.
