First Mp3 CD made
 
I finished my first CD for Mp-3 play. I now insert it into my car stereo and have 90 songs I like to enjoy. Now I feel greedy I could easily have 300+ songs on there . . .

One major problem, There are so many songs I like that I have heard on the Radio but for the life of me I can't tell you what they are called or who sings them . . . anyone else ever have that problem?

The cool thing is the CD is rewritable so I constantly keep changing about 20 songs on the disk. When I am feeling really ambitious I'll try making three or four CD's and try to organize the the sequence of the songs somewhat to have mood motiffs :)

Yeah, that happens to me all the time.

I use several tactics to try to identify songs:

1. check out the stations web-site. Often they'll post their playlists on-line.

2. www.towerrecords.com I use it as a reference page. You can often listen to sample clips from almost aany artist.

3. As last resort, if you can catch a unique phrase sung in the song, and remember a sentence or two of it, jot it down, then actually go to altavista.com or one of the more specific search engines and enter the phrase with quotation marks around it. I did this to find the Olive song, Outlaw. The word Outlaw never appears in the song, but I had the phrase, "Couldnt you have told me before, I would have loved you so much more." I entered that exactly and It took me to some stalkers web page that is obeseesed enough with olive to actually put her lyrics on his page. But hey, I got the name of the song, and then went to limewire and downloaded it.

Hope it helps. ;)

How in the world did you get 80 songs onto one CD? I can't get more than 18, 19 at most! Am i overlooking something?
