My bad. I'm a little surprised iTunes didn't just convert it for you when you burned it (I just realized you may not be using iTunes), but this should do the trick:
http://www.download.com/Free-Mp3-Wma-Conve....html?tag=lst-4oh ok, I'll get that when I get home today. for those songs I just downloaded my own mp3 versions; but for future reference, it will be nice to have this thing.
also, yeah, I used media player. I just like it better than itunes for burning for some reason.

Go to
utorrent.com and download the free software.
Go to
torrent-finder.com and type in whatever artist you are looking for in the search bar.
A list of items will come up, find the one with the highest amount of seeders (under where it says Seed, seeders, etc. obviously).
Click on the one you want, then (assuming you're running Firefox) click on the file by where it says download or torrent download or something similar.
Choose Save to Disk*, then when it downloads select Open and a box should appear with all the individual files listed. They will all already be checked, select OK and you're good to go.
*You could just choose Open here to jump immediately to the download, but I do Save to Disk so that if it messes up, I close it on accident, my computer turns off, etc. I can just select it off the desktop to start it up from where it left off immediately.
Hope that helped.

My aunt today told me that all nonChristian music was of the devil, because music was created by God to glorify him (that sounds like something I might do), and it's blasphemous to use it for anything else.
So, I won't be posting in here, anymore. I'm really going to miss music.

I like the ones where jingoism somehow comes into play. The one's with the King James translation stuff were pretty boss.
On a musical note, I've been rockin':
The Meadowlands - The Wrens (an old recommendation from Wangsly). Pretty ****ing ill; I'll call it a 9.0/10
Blueberry Boat - The Fiery Furnaces. I can't say how awesome this record is.
Summerteeth/YHF - Wilco. Every time I decide I like one record more than the other, I listen to the other.
Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah - Some Loud Thunder. Am I the only person who liked this record? I thought it was almost as good as their debut.
Also, anyone hear the new Atmosphere? I find myself unable to enjoy any of their stuff, other than Lucy Ford, which I rate 10/10.

So all you music guys; what genre of music do you consider Maroon 5? I passiveley enjoy them, as I am getting older and having children I tend to listed to the top 20-40 stuff more and more because it is less offesnive (for the most part) and I dont have to worry about changing the XM if a bad song comes on, although half the time it drives me nuts with the repetetive crap on there. (I can't pop the Wutang album in CD player and do house work anymore, jus sayin)
So anyway, is it just pop, alternative, rock, dance.... something else? I cannot figure out what they would be considered.

There's plenty of real good hip hop out there now, you just have to look. A lot of it has probably been mentioned in this thread. Also, have you bothered listening to any of the Wu Tang solo efforts? They are very good, especially Ghostface's. Because I know you're a Wu Tang fan.

Anyway, speaking of getting all my opinions from Pitchfork, I've been sitting on my thumbs, essentially since In Rainbows, waiting for them to tell me I like something. Well, today is that day, as I'm heavily enjoying Vampire Weekend, the highest rated album in months, I think -- maybe since Random Spirit Lover. I highly recommend, assuming I have any credibility beyond that of the people feeding me my opinions.
