I bet that Windows Media Player can rip MP3s too, but maybe not...

And on the question of wma vs mp3 I'm not sure how to create the files except to use the windows media player is there some free software you'd recommend to burn and rip? Thanks for checking in.

While not necessarily cutting edge, I've managed to find a lot of nice stuff at Sulzer, including an album of Blind Willie Johnson, who cut the original "John the Revelator" The best thing I probably got there was a double CD of Edith Piaf, or maybe this really great Uruguayan accordion by René Marino Rivero.<br /><br />--Joe<br /><br />PS why did you switch from MP3 to WMA? I'm new here, but from the name and subtitle of your blog, you didn't set out to use the dark side of the force? Which library do you go to?

Toby and I just saw "City of God" on DVD -- I can't think of a better movie I've seen all year with the exception of "Van Helsing" (just kidding)!<br /><br />Anyway, part of what made the movie so good was the soundtrack -- funky Brazilian stuff, maybe some jazz. Your research skills could be put to good use here, and perhaps you can even do a special post on great soundtracks?<br /><br />I vote for "A Clockwork Orange", "Private Parts", and "To Live and Die in L.A.".
