AAAACK!!!!!!
ok step one:
Make sure you have teh correct equiptment. IN this case one of the best
tools around is this little program called soundhack. Luckily your can
download it FREE over the net at
http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/gst/snd/sound-hack-0868.hqx
Step two:
Export the CD data off of the disk. Unlike most other forms of audio media
cdroms are ALREADY digital. So you don't have to sample anything. Just
use Soundhacks's "import CD track" feature from the file menu. Bingo, you
now have a wav file.
step three:
Upload that sucker. Yeas yeas I may have an eaiser time of it because I
have a box on the net. But as time goes on you will get more and more
space on your personal account that you only pay $30 for.
step four:
Tell of bunch of cheapskates where they can get an ABSOLUTELY free
recording of Negativeland's "Our National Anthem" off of their FREE album.

NOw the only problem is that the file is 2.7megs and that's after I
dithered it down to a really crappy level so it would be small. But as
Greg points out nineteen times a day. We're talking about a time in the
future twenty minutes from now when bandwidth will flow much freeer.

But what will happen when I can get music data over the net from these
Chinese pirates just as easily as I can get it from The Virgin Mega Store
downtown. Heck it would be even easier because I don't have to get off my
well cushioned ass to do it. I can just log in in the morning. Go to the
megasite on the web and just start to download the many tracks of music
that catch my fancy while I work. Instant entertainment.
