    Because iTunes sucks! Okay, it's actually pretty good software but the only lossless format it supports is (surprise!) Apple Lossless. I don't speak Mac but I believe there is free conversion software that will turn FLAC into Apple Lossless called Max and/or MacFLAC.

    You people aren't seriously gonna let me pick out which tracks to use, are ya?

    Pick a preference or two and I'll work with it.

    My plan is to only offer a downloadable version but if anyone wants to do the ol' CDR-in-the-mail routine have at it. I'll make a separate post when it's done (assuming we get enough participation).

    Back already? I thought you packed up your Barbie dolls and left for good a couple days ago? Heehee, I was just listening to that Morphine song in the car on the way home from work late last night, really really loud, twice in a row, man they make a lot of good sounding racket on that one! So that's my pick. Although they were pretty popular back in the day so most people might've already heard it a bunch.

    If so, maybe the Electrelane song. That is from one of the best recorded and best sounding CDs of the last few years imo, Axes. Not my favorite from Electrelane cause they seem to lose focus a few times throughout the record, meandering down some paths that don't do much for me, but they still often bring it all together in metronomic bliss. And it is live in the studio, with Steve Albini in charge. Sounds very natural, as in "a rock band in the studio" kind of way.

    But yea, I know, not that many people actually like Electrelane, no matter how well it's recorded, so maybe the best bet is the Magnolia Electric Co song which opens the "Sun Sessions" EP which was recorded down in Memphis at the legendary Sun Studios one day in 2006. Really nice and warm sound on that one.

    The latest version of Goldwave converts in all kinds of formats; some of which I've never heard of before. It'll play them back as well. I can even do wave file manipulation and save in any format.

    This a song from 2006's All The Road Running album by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris. It has decent sonics, and may be more in line with some of you guys' tastes, considering what's been posted thus far.

    The typo I corrected was MaFlac instead of MacFlac.

    How could I ever misspell Siwhs.
