Mostly convenience......and the ability to randomly mix the songs. I listen to music quite a bit while I work on the computer. I have a really good set of speakers (Monsoon Planers with a woofer) and a good sound card (Audigy 2). I collected probably several thousand MP3s with P2P before things got nasty <G> I also own about 1300 CDs. Little by little I'm copying them to the computer. Packed the camera this morning <chuckle> Regards from Bob -- the "Keyboard Cowboy", ,,,,,,,, Ô¿Ô¬ Cincinnati, Ohio - Scottsdale, Arizona ----------------------------------------------- Tuesday, 4/19/2005, @ 8:02:37 AM EST ----------------------------------------------- The world is good-natured to people who are good natured. -- William Makepeace Thackeray ==================|:o:|================== On Tue, 19 Apr 2005 07:12:27 -0400, Cris wrote: | Have a safe and wonderful trip! | Don't forget your camera! and take lots of pictures! you can put | some in yahoo when you get back!
