Hello List Members,

I have a couple of issues which I hope that you can help me resolve.

For the last couple of months, I have been using a CD-Player/Recorder which is 
hooked up to a stereo receiver to record specific programs that are featured on 
AM Radio. I guess I could purchase an MP3 player or an Ipod to record these 
shows, but I don't record a lot of them, so just want to have a permanent 
hard-copy CD.
What I find is that most of the time the CD-player will record the show, though 
sometimes this is not the case and I have come to understand ( also confirmed 
by other people that I have talked with), that this technology is not always 
reliable.

Therefore, I would like to know if there is an available program that allows me 
to use my PC for  recording these programs from XM and then allows me to 
transfer the file to a CD using Windows Media Player, Winamp, or a similar 
program.

This software should also have some other features like file editing and adding 
markers, so that when I create a hard-copy CD, I can skip through tracks that I 
don't want to listen to at that time.

Secondly, I would appreciate some feedback regarding the Jaws scripts for 
Itunes which have been around forthe last 18 months or so and I believe were 
developed in England. I am considering purchasing these scripts. I have 
downloaded the user manual which is not written very well, in my opinion. As an 
alternative to the Itunes scripts, has anyone been able to purchase songs from 
the Itunes store and transfer them to a file and then to CD, using JFW and 
alternative scripts that someone else has developed. 
For that matter, has anyone been able to work with JFW and Itunes without using 
any scripts? On a related note, are the most recent JFW upgrades, (jfw8 and 
above more compatible with the Itunes scripts?

 Finally, are their any scripts for Windows Media player which I find really 
cumbersome when I have downloaded a song that someone has sent me, or that I 
have purchased and I have to tab around in order to locate the track, add to a 
particular playlist and then burn onto a CD. It would be great if there were 
specific scripts to make this process a bit less of a hassle. 

Please contact me offlist at: jusliz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I would appreciate whatever assistance this list can offer.

Best to all,
