I bought a new Sony MP3 player. I have a lot of CD's so I loaded them onto my Windows PC (windows 7) Media Player file. I have no problem loading tunes from Media Player onto the MP3 player. I have no clue how to buy music on line and get it into a form I can use to load it to the MP3. I tried buying a song from Amazon but I have no clue where it ended up. I could grab the nearest 9 year old off the street to show me how I am sure but I thought I would go this routs instead.

I think typically it goes into your library on amazon and you can download from there. I just tried it by "buying" a song that amazon had for free. After you get done checking out it asks "listen" or download now. If you choose download it asks if you have the amazon music app, or "just download". I chose "download" and it downloaded. Windows asked if I wanted to open with itunes or save the file. I chose save and it downloaded into my downloads folder, which is my default location.

If you want to practice, look around on amazon. they have a number of songs for free.

I don't know how into sound quality you are, but there are websites that offer songs at higher bit rates (better quality) than standard outlets such as itunes and amazon.

I still buy CDs and then rip them to mp3s so that I've got the originals. At some point storage space will be cheap enough that you can rip CD quality and I don't want to have to re-buy all of this music.

That said, I'll buy older recordings on Amazon for example. It's usually when I'm looking for a specific old blues song/artist and know that the quality wouldn't be there in a full CD anyway.

The public library is a good source for music. They have many CDs.

Storage is already cheap. When you first rip your CD's make sure to set the option to rip lossless. If not, you will probably end up doing them again some day.

I wish I had a dollar for every person that said, lossy is fine then found out years later that they wanted lossless and had to start over.

Then make an external backup. If you have a lot of files, make another external backup and store it offsite.

A year ago I lost my main hard drive that stored my music. Threw it out popped in a new one. Copied over the files from an external backup and was up and running again in a couple days.

That would be illegal Del. You can legally rip anything you own for your own personal use. You can not rent or check out music or movies to rip and return as you do not own them.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
