ok, thanks a lot for that info! you were right, when I read the article it was helpful, and when I tried to download a song with .wma after the title all that came up was crap/dangerous. But here is the dealeo - when I go to burn a song onto CD it does it in mp3 format and I cant play it on my car stereo or any cd player. What can I do about that? Also, can I change all the mp3 files/songs I have dl'ed to regular CD? I heard it was too much trouble. This may be a brain-thumper or a no-brainer, but - I have CD-RW but when I try to record over it, my PC wont let me, and I cant add on to one that is partially filled. Help very much appreciated! thanks.
