Subject: (hats) MP3's

A non-hats related question but relevant to recent discussions

I am just getting with the MP3 thing and downloading from napster .... my
question is this ... Can I copy the MP3 files to a 3 1/2 inch disk, take that
disk to a friends house who has a CD-R, and make my own CD's?  This may be a
stupid question, but I really don't have a clue about these things.  I guess
I am lagging behind on today's technology.

Thanks

P.S. Is Richard Holdman still on this list?

well, if you can convert the MP3 back to 'normal' uncompressed CD format
then yeah, though as the music has been compressed it wont sound as good
as a normal CD copy - basically MP3 throws away the audio spectrum you
cant hear and once its gone you cant get it back, unlike data compression
which retains all data...

not as daft a question as i have had...!!!

Of course, the real question is whether one MP3 file will fit on a single
3.5" floppy.  MP3's usually fit about one minute's worth of music into
1MB of disk space, so on average a song will consume about 3.5 to 4.5
MB of disk space.  The maximum capacity of a 3.5" disk is 1.44MB (in
the IBM PC format), so you'd have to use some software to break your
one MP3 file into multiple, smaller files.  You could probably use one
of the ZIP programs to split your MP3 file to multiple disks: just create
a new archive and check the "Span Multiple Disks" box, or whatever your
ZIP program calls it.

Or if you have a ZIP Drive, you won't have this problem!

I believe he is... Richard?  Stand up and be counted!  :-)

Hope this helps,

Steve

Yes I am here! :)

Trying to transfer mp3 files via 3 1/2 disks is like trying to chop down a
tree with a baseball bat. You can do it but its going to take a lot of work
and time.

Your best bet is to just buy your own CDR recorder. They are cheap compared
to what they use to be.

Subject: (hats) MWH Crossword Puzzle

In today's (Wednesday's) Yahoo crossword puzzle "Flip Side", there is a clue
for a 1983 Men Without Hats song about moshing, but the answer isn't Safety
Dance. Go fill out the puzzle, or scroll way down for the spoiler.

The answer is Danger Dance. The puzzle's theme, Flip Side, is all about
using the opposite of the normal song title. They also have Sit By You Man
and other reversed songs.
