Yes I have an mp3 player and I guess I am too old, I find it more annoying than anything else to have to create a playlist that only I can use, as the mixes are generally composed for someone else. Does anyone know: (1) how to go about making an analog CD copy or something -- do you just use a CD player/recorder instead of computer; and (2) is there a comprehensive list of the companies doing this so I can be sure to boycott them? AND if Richard should ever do this he would fare the same!!!! Glad I kept my walkman and some tapes. And spares (walkmen?) to give my offspring. Lisa, annoyed. ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V7 #296 ***********************************
