All my files [which as Ogg Vorbis, not MP3] were created by me
personally, by encoding the data from the original CDs. I use CDex. Put
a disk in, type in all the details, hit a button, and it carefully puts
files into folders and places correct metadata inside. (Assuming it's an
album where everything is by the same artist. It can't handle
compilations properly, but it's easy enough to add the correct data with
WinAmp.)
Actually, that's a lie. My MP3 player *does* have just two MP3s on it
(and they're probably both illegal): Microsoft Jinglebells and Ugly
Girl. Go google them. ;-)
[Oh for the days when 10 CDs worth of data was considered "a lot".
KOMPLETE 5 comples on 14 dual-layer DVDs, BITCHES!]
