I can never get the songs recorded in the order i want. i guess i need to fiddle round with Music Match some more.

I use Nero--freebie version. Much easier to arrange the tracks.

Is that Nero 6- the trial version? I checked their site & that looked like the best free version, though they don't tell when the expiration date is on it before you download.

I'd love to record LP's to disc. Then there's all those songs i'd love to edit out some of the beginning or some of the end of the song- like that Wilco song that has a 5 or 6 minute drone to it after the main song part ends. If i have to pay just for those two features, i might do it.

Turn LPs into Digital Media Files

Get crackin'

Cool! Thanks for the link, looks like my fall/winter project is here (i am so slow).

I've got a song in my head that I really love. It's called,"If You Could Only See..." and it's by Tonic.

My top 10 songs of the last week or so-

1. Carlene Carter Slow Dance
-from her first album, just released on cd

2. Keren Ann Aeroplane
- Keren rules!

3. Santana Brown Skin Girl
- great song off a so-so album

4. Buck 65 Kennedy Killed the Hat

5. Johnny Cash Ring of Fire
- the flames got higher, man

6. Laura Veirs Galaxies
- found the cd used woo-hoo!

7. Jamie Cullum It's About Time
- an indie Billy Joel?!?!

8. John Mayer Try
- from the new cool live cd

9. Rickie Lee Jones Satellites
- a long time fave

10. The Explosives New Shoes
- power pop from the 80s

i found a copy of the 2 disc set "The Essential Johnny Cash", so there's a lot of early to mid 7os JC on my jukebox.

Plus i been listening a lot to French singer Keren Ann. Some of her music is in English but whatever language, the gal can sure sing. i used to hide from French language indie/pop/jazz stuff. Now i'm a sophisticated hick, i guess.

Jeepers, haven't posted much in my fave forum of late. Does anyone even read posts here anymore?
i dunno, i got tired of question threads and games. Guess i'm going through a phase. I'm surprised the governemnt hasn't set up a toll booth for people going through phases, and charging them to pay for phase tokens. ha ha stoopid xc "humor" doesn't phase anyone anymore, eh?
