I bought a couple of CDs today, Recurring Dream: The Best of Crowded House and She Will Have Her Way: The Songs of Tim & Neil Finn. I was hoping to get the 2 disc set of She Will Have Her Way because it has the female artists singing the Finns’ songs on the first dsc and then the original Tim Finn/Crowded House songs on the second album. Alas, that 2 disc set has been baleeted. On the up side though, the two CDs that I bought were reduced to $8.99 each and of the nineteen songs on the Crowded House album, it has six of the sixteen songs on She Will Have Her Way. I think there’s a good amount of diversity and double up there.
I popped Crowded House into my computer, completely unaware as to what program I’d use to rip the songs. Tangent: You know you live in the 21st century when the first thing you do after buying an album is rip it to mp3s. Immediately, Sound Juicer popped open. This program looks nice and simple. It also looked like it worked well after following instructions on how to set up mp3 encoding. Alas, I couldn’t import the songs into Rhythmbox or play them on any of my players. I guess I’ll just have to listen to the CD itself… later because I’m tired of sitting at the computer.
