Cash McCall – The Blues

Can we just be real 4 a second no 1 buys music cds anymore. the buy music online whether it from iTunes Store, Zune Marketplace, Amazon MP3, TuneTribe, Kazaa, eMusic best buy music store, or walmart music store. iTunes even offers music video, behind scenes, and pdf cd booklets. And the record companies can still make money.

I think by 2020 they will be going the same way as cassette tapes are now. Digital downloads are cheaper to distribute and easier. I can download music from iTunes over wifi onto my iPod straight away. People can also download individual tracks that they want without the need for the rubbish ones on a CD.
Digital downloads are also much more environmentally friendly because there is less need for plastic and the materials used to make cds.

So I have I tunes, Windows media player and quick time.
I just dont know how to do this. Where do i get the music from? I need step by step directions. I dont want to download any more programs or buy any.
I have a cd burner on my computer.
I dont know how to make my own music cds though.
Please help!
thank you !

If you already have music on your iTunes, just make a playlist in the left side of your iTunes player. You can do this by pressing File < New Playlist. Drag the songs that you want to put on your CD to this new playlist. Place your blank audio CD into your CD drive and iTunes will ask you what you would like to do with the CD. One of the answer choices will be, "Would you like to burn this audio CD?" Click yes and iTunes will burn everything for you. If you don’t have the music you can download LimeWire, it’s totally free. Once a song has downloaded 100% in LimeWire, click launch at the bottom of the LimeWire window and it’ll put it in your iTunes player. But first, you need to go to Options and Player Settings. Click on the link that plays your music in iTunes. Then your songs will play in iTunes and you can burn your CDs. You can get LimeWire at www.limewire.com

I would like lossless compression, and would like a sense of how many MB a typical music cd will take when converted. Also, what file formats would be compatible with an ipod? Thanks!

Well for the full cd quality music with minimal compression I would say either ogg vorbis or flacc
But I’m pretty sure that iPods only play AAC and mp3 so your gonna want to choose one of those
Of the two if you want the best audio quality iwould say go with AAC

These are CDs of classsical music/operas. I have never used MP3. Is such music available for downlaoding, as it is not as much in demand as other types of popular music?

Just insert the music CD and select rip with Window media player when the auto play window appears. That’s it, your files will be converted in .mp3.

I wanted to know if all original music CDs work on a karaoke machine to play karaoke or do I have to buy special karaoke CDs to play karaoke.

You have to buy karaoke CD+G discs. Karaoke machines to not turn regular audio CDs into karaoke.

I will be using iTunes to rip / manage music CDs & transfer to my iPod. Would you recommend to stay with iTunes default setting of AAC encoder at 128 kbps or change to a MP3 format at 160 kbps? My thought is that with the MP3 format, I could burn a MP3 CD and am not sure if I can do that with the AAC format. (can iTunes do that with the AAC files?) Thanks!

Definitely stick with mp3– once you aac encode it, it can never go back and it won’t let you burn an mp3 cd… I know from previous experience….

okay.. well i read somewhere in around june that the new audio club cd was supposed to be coming out in late september. well, now i cant rememeber what the date was and where i read it! if anyone has ANY information about it at ALL, feel free to post it.

go to limewire to download all your music needs
