Well, my dear cat, you will probably get about 10 hours worth onto an MP3 disc, so you could fit the 16 onto 2 discs.

All you need is either Windows media player (yuk, I hate it) or a free utility I use quite a lot called "CDex" (freeware) http://www.download.com/CDex/3000-2140-10226370.html to convert the audio CDs to MP3. Then just burn them to CD-R (or RW - although i've not tried RWs in the new stacker yet). If you're using CDex, use the "CDDB" option to automatically encode all the title information (it gets it all from an internet database of CD info).

Hope that wasn't too technical....let me know how you get on.

Well, nice of you to ask, I am absolutely loving it, it gets better every time I drive it, and I will be driving it much more when my old car goes back at the end of next week. I've now done exactly 1000 miles, although I'm still taking it easy, I've put my foot down fairly hard once or twice, and the power feels awesome.

Still lots of admiring looks, & my neighbours all seem v.impressed!

I'm looking forward to a couple of long trips around easter visiting family etc, so I'll give an update after that.

Cheers, Just
