I don't suggest using Realplayer because it attepts to connect to a remote server
EVERYTIME you launch the program. It does this to transmit info about what your listening to and other mp3s you have. This means Realplayer must search your hard drive in order to do so. All without your permission. hmmmm....
I say no thanx.
Now all you need is a RIPPER My favorite is NexEncode because it looks so cool. Seriously, the GUI is the coolest loking thing. More companies should try to impress the users with a GUI like this.
Again...BEWARE of RealPlayer which connects to a remote server. For the novice: a "Ripper" is a small program which converts you favorite CDs into MP3s.
All that should have you up to par.
The Best accessory to have with your MP3 collection is: The Best!
If you REALLY dig MP3, and especially if you dig FTP or Napster, $nbsp you should go here. That is the link to the heart of the internet revolution. Once you are on Hotline your life will be changed forever. Imagine fast downloads of any songs your heart desires, with an integrated search engine to find any song you decide you want to listen too. And you can immediately play and listen to the song you are downloading without waiting for it to finish. Think that might sound good? Well, sure, but MP3's aren't the only files you can download! ;0) You can download ANY file including all the hottest games and movies. I find movies on hotline before you can see them in the theatre, seriously! Hotline will change your life. And if you get on hotline be sure to visit my server where you can find the hottest files.
