I have been trying out a few CD rippers. One or two ripped the songs as "ogg" which is fine for playing them on the computer, but I wanted the songs as mp3 for my player. I know this isn't a problem because I now have programs to convert audio to nearly anything. As for time, it's a lot better if I can just rip straight to mp3. So! after trying a few I ended up with "Ripper X". You can't get much easier than this program. So mission accomplished, my "Joy Division" CD's...

We don't have wireless, I don't see the need, as we only use this room for the computers, there's no need to take them anywhere. As I said I use Linux and she uses that other ... What gets me is the fact that...
