It won't save them. You can always just take a regular CD player and hook the audio outputs into your soundcard and make a copy (without any protection) that way.

Well, we've told the immediate family so now I'd thought I'd share it with you folks. My wife is about five weeks pregnant. I'm amazed, scared, elated and horrified at the same time. I have always wanted children, but it's really frightening to think about it. That said, I'm looking forward to it!

From a website I found:

And how is this any better or worse than downloading the music? The CD has already been bought from the record company by someone, or in many cases it's a promo copy and was given to someone (I buy a lot of those). Buying it used puts nothing into the record company's pockets. It only puts money into the used CD store. And how is downloading a song any different than what I did as a kid, before I had a job and thus money to buy a CD or tape, which was listen to the radio and tape all my favorite songs when they came on? I had tapes upon tapes upon tapes of songs and never bought a record until I was about 16. Anyone who truly cares about music will buy the disc. I love having a physical disc with the packaging and the liner notes and the "real" CD and the whole shebang. And AfricaBrass is right, mp3s suck sonically. But I buy a lot of stuff at the used store. In fact, I bought the Yaya3 record, Larry Golding's new record, Charlie Hunter's new record, and Elastic all from the used CD store about a week after they were released. How is that helping the record companies? Suing a 12 year old is really heartless. She's doing nothing worse than what I did as a kid with my tape recorder. I'll say it again. Fuck the RIAA.

Did Columbia have a Miles Davis font for his name? It seems to be the same throughout the classic era.

I KNEW IT!!!!!

...because I killed them.

OH NO!

Your wish is my command.

My first car... Except mine was a 4-door. 1978 Buick Skylark. The car was great. It only had 30,000 original miles on it but it had lived it's whole life in Michigan so it was rusted out like hell. You couldn't tell by just looking at it, but underneath it was a mess. Started to leak oil like crazy after about 36,000 miles. Then I got in an accident with it and fucked up the passenger side doors. After my foot started going through the floor I had to let it go. I got a 1994 Dodge Intrepid with 76,000 miles. I put another 100,000 on it before I got my van last year. That Intrepid was a NICE car.

Those are pretty slick. I'd drive the middle one.

That's a great photo and a great album. Good call, Mike. This is one of the first, non-Jimmy Smith records I picked up when I was just getting into this stuff (it took me a couple of years just to digest J.O.S. himself... in fact, I still am) and I've loved it since day one.

Ah, the quick fix. Indicative of our society, no? It's been two years. The organ probably would've been all but rebuilt by now. It's a damn shame.

The error message just means he won't get an email telling him there's a PM waiting. The PM does go through. I'm still waiting to hear from my server guy, Ken.

Kids kids kids. Let's all just calm down and watch some cartoons, eh? "On the Moon, nerds get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with Moonrocks."

Yeah... it helps with a faster connection. Man, my dialup was so slow I spent more time waiting for things to load than actually doing work. This will make website updates and such so much easier on my patience.

BWA HA HA HA HA! Actually AAJ has a ranking of somewhere in the 11,000 range I think. No overtaking that for some time.

The CDs are in stock. ORDER AWAY!!!!!!!!!!! :rsmile: B)

Today's reading: 268,432. Not bad.

I drive a '99 Plymouth Voyager. I didn't want to get a mini-van, but I needed something to haul the organ around in. I actually like the car a lot, though. Drives great.

What a great story! I've never heard it. Thank you!

Hey folks! Just got my cable modem back after going without it since March. It's been painful... once you get used to broadband, there's no going back. Anyway, in our new house, rather than routing CAT5 cable everywhere I decided to go wireless! Oh man, is this cool! For those thinking of taking the wireless plunge I highly reccomend Netgear stuff. Yesterday I bought a Netgear wireless router and then a Linksys wireless adapter for my computer since it was on sale. What a mistaket that was. I spent four hours last night trying to get the Linksys to work. I finally returned it today, bought a Netgear card, popped it into my computer and VOILA! No problems. This is sweet, baby!!! I also have my new motherboard for my music computer to install today. I'm in computer geek heaven!

I've got it. When I get you that copy of "It's Necessary" I'll include this (I haven't forgotten, just busy, my man!)

I don't get it.

Yeah, it's weird. It's been going off and on. Sometimes I would post last night and it would be fine, sometimes I'd get the error. I'm fairly certain it's with the server, not this software. I'm still waiting to hear from Ken.
