You sound like me...totally anti-tech!

I need to figure out a way to burn CDs again. I had one of those stand alone CD burners (Looks like a old DVD player) but they use a very specific type of blank CD, a CD-R digital audio recordable. Those are hard to find, and I am not even sure they are making them anymore. The regular CD-Rs that are used for computer burning are readily available, but not compatible with my recorder. That's the reason I have not sent you any Smoking menehunes CDs as of yet....but I really think our sound would work well on your show...I am trying to get this all sorted out soon!

No, I'm not totally anti-tech, I'm just an old hi-fi aficionado (I helped my father build his first Capehart stereo when I was a kid in the late 1950s), and I don't like the sound of the compressed downloads. I'm not such a fanatic that I think LPs are far superior to CDs, but I do prefer CDs to stuff played on iPods.

I don't know what kind of computer or operating system you have, so I don't know what to advise in terms of burning CDs. My computer came with Windows XP and with it or the Windows 7 OS is bundled a CD burning program called Roxio which I have learned how to use. It's pretty simple to learn.

Because when I'm doing my show I hate to be switching out CDs constantly in three CD players in the radio studio where I'm broadcasting from, I burn all the songs I plan to play on a show onto a single CD in the order intended, which I then play in a single CD player during my show.
