[Blockhead]

good lord. thanks kimani! have you been patiently waiting for this thread to happen?

[kimani]

Yes, very patiently . And if you ever want to share your itunes purchases you can burn them to CD, then rip them to your itunes, they'll be unlocked and in whichever format you have pre-selected.

[Blockhead]

Yes, very patiently . And if you ever want to share your itunes purchases you can burn them to CD, then rip them to your itunes, they'll be unlocked and in whichever format you have pre-selected.

yeah. i've been meaning to do that...but , truth be told, i think you got it covered. thanks again for all of these.

[Fuckin' A]

Thanks, a couple of these saved me the time of doing some blog searches, but is that what you did here? If so, I'd rather look for better rips. I know, I'm a fucking geek, but ripping anything from cd-r kills the sound quality.

[kimani]

No, those were CD rips from peeps on another forum.

[Fuckin' A]

thanks for the links.

[Vlad Analogue]

what's the audio quality on these?
