Why apologize? IMHO, you're doing everyone a big favor.

Now that was just plain mean.

Bren,

I borrowed/stole this CD from Ken's house (he's on vacations) a few days ago and have had it in my car since. I just looked at the track listing today, but I can tell you that I like at least half the stuff on there. There's only a couple that I skip regularly -- I don't recall which, though.

This is very WHITE music.

not that's there's anything wrong with that! that's alright, i'm gonna make a disc skewed to the Celtic side, and you don't get much whiter than that. now i've just gotta get the playlist down to fit on a disc!

I figured it was a given that I didn't have any problem with it being White. It's not "white or die" music. It's just white.

is Lawrence Welk on there? 'cause that's white music!

well on this very topic, i will request some assistance from my fellow axiomites...(Peter, I normally pose this type of question to your brother and he is always quite helpful, but he's on holidays now correct???).

I pretty much have the list pared down for a cd of my own, so what i need to know is what is the best way to get the songs coverted to files and burnt to a cd? I have Nero on the PC, but that is burning software only, no? What is the best way to convert the original songs to MP3 (or whatever is best) at a decent bit rate? If i require something different where would i find the software? As you can see, I'm essentailly hopeless with this kind of thing. I was hoping someone might be able to help me out.

thanks in advance everyone
Scott

sid-what i've done is used Windows Media Player to record all of my cds to my hard drive at whatever the "lossless" bit rate is for a WMA file (varies by track) and just added the files to the "burn list". under the "burn" tab, i can rearrange order of the tracks as i see fit and it'll tell me which files won't fit on the disc. plus it does all the converting back to an audio track file when burning so it's not an mp3/wma/whatever and can play on any player. now i'm sure that by virtue of the fact that i'm using "cd quality" bit rates i'm limiting the number of tracks on the disc, but i figure it's better to have fewer, better sounding songs than more, crappy sounding ones.

great Ash, thanks I'll give that a try (I'm travelling for the next few days to the Queen City - Regina, so I'll try when I get back home this weekend).

thanks again
