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.
