good point, if you go with mp3's you can get 200 songs on a cd as opposed to 20 or so regs. I have switched over to itunes program for ripping cd's and to burn also. I don't even bother making cd's as I store eveything on the computer and download to my 2gb ipod which I play through the car sound system. Nice to never have music skip!!!!! I would like to find someone out there with a 200 gb hard drive full of music that they would like to sell, anyone?
