Doesn't anyone listen to Doris Day, Dean Martin and the Singing Nun anymore?

Well I lean toward the other way in the music genre. I listen to more of R&B and rap. But I do have a few rock songs I listen to as well. Long as it has a good beat I'm good with it.

Geez, I'll pay you to make me a CD of the songs I like? I envy those that know how to do it. I'm serious by the way?? I'd pay well for a customized CD.

Save your money, man; if you learn how to do it you'll be able to make as many as you'd like. I'd be happy to walk you through it in more detail than below ... does your PC have a CD burner?

The basic steps I've used are: (using free software)
1) burn any itunes music that I want to music CD (I'll explain later)
2) use PC to rip my music CDs into mp3 files
3) use CD burning software (Nero, etc) to burn a data CD containing mp3 files

The reason I do step 1 is because it gets rid of Apple's copy protection ... you may not need to do this if you are only using music that is already in mp3 form or if using real music CDs for step 2. Also, newer CD players probably can deal with a mix of mp3, wma, etc files but I keep mine limited to only mp3 files to limit compatibility issues.

Hope this helps but I'd be glad to explain further, just let me know which step you need details on.

I just set itunes to import all songs as MP3, then create a playlist of the songs I want (you can normally fit 200 songs on one cd) and finally click the burn button and itunes does the rest.
Never had a problem with apple copy protection ( I use a MAC not a Windoze PC)

If there is any tracks you want but don't have then try this:
1) Find a clip on Youtube where you want to 'borrow' the soundtrack
2)Open this website- http://www.youtube-mp3.org/
3) Follow simple instructions
4) Play in itunes (or similar) and enjoy
5) Burn to CD in itunes
6) Ride and enjoy :-)
