Ok, that same 5MB MP3 song file would be anywhere from 40 to 50MB in lossless. Yep! If people knew what a rip off MP3 is there would be a revolt. That they expect people to pay for a pillaged audio file is nerve beyond comprehension. To compress to MP3 they have removed so much info so as to leave the bare minimum to trick the human into believing they are listening to a song. To start get a good CD ripper. When you "buy" a CD and you want to make a copy to your hard drive so that, in the event that your original is damaged beyond repair, you can make a back-up( completely legal). Use a program like
exactaudiocopy (FREE ) to make that copy and store on your hard drive. Then all you need is a program like
Burrrn (also FREE ) to make a duplicate CD. To fill your head with either too much information, or just enough to make you dangerous

, you'll want to read up on
FLAC (link) Then , of course, you'll just need an invite to a place....
Sure , the file size is larger , but on a 2GB card, pfffft, it doesn't matter ! And the fullness of the sound, the sound....
