Therefore, CD players will only be able to play CD-R's that have wave files burned onto them (which are not compressed), but not MP3's. Is this correct? Any light anyone can shed on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I can't believe it was something as simple as "It's how you think." Boy do I feel stupid.

There are some magic scripts ...etc. It's easier than all this. Go to http://www.tal.org/tori/ Click on "Multimedia" in the frame at the left. You'll see the 20 most recently available mp3's displayed. Right-click on the mp3 you want, then select "save as". Chose the location on your hard drive where you want to save to, then click on "save". If you want one of the many other multimedia files available at the site (video etc.), use the search box at the top of the page. Hope this helps.

I don't know if you mean "what is molasses" or "what does it mean" so I'll try to answer both questions...well, actually, I"m sure somebody's already said what molasses is so I'll say what I think it means. I think it has something to do with being so slow to trust after the rape and possible bad romantic experiences. I see Northern Lad as being about Eric and she always talks about how Baker Baker is about being so emotionally unavailable to him. I'm not sure if the term has the same significance in Liquid Diamonds or not, but that's what I think it means...there's the old expression "slow as molasses" which seems to fit. Sweet but slow to trust. :) Hope that helps!

Maybe I'm stupid but I can't understand what she > says. "It" isn't easily definable. At a good concert the performer(s) and the audience interact in a way that makes the event "bigger." It is creative energy, power, love, and more than a little magic. The performer absorbs it from the audience and sends it back multiplied. The audience does the same and it grows. When all of that, comes together you have a truly great concert and the reason for live music 'cause that just can't be captured in the best recording.
