This is a good question, especially since I am in this situation.
Before moving from CA to FL, I tried to get my entire 250+ CD collection burned to
MP3s, so I could cram them on an Archos to listen to in the moving truck (they
totalled more than the 20Gig it could hold, so I didn't get all of them on). I have
an older Chicago album that somehow got cracked from the hub outwards, about 1". I
was able to rip it to MP3s except for the very first song, "Baby What a Big
Surprise". I really don't want to buy another copy just for the one song, so I need
to try to find someone that has the CD and can send me the track (in raw CDA format,
not MP3, as I also need to burn a standard CD copy of it in case I want to play it
in the home stereo).
Personally, I think I am in the right to try to get a copy of the track, as I still
do have the cracked copy (which does play, but you have to skip song 1 quickly).
I also have a Pink Floyd album that had a scratch on the front that went through the
backing, so one song has a glitch (I think it was Division Bell). So I need a copy
of that song.
But since I am new to the area, I doubt if I will find a local copy any time soon.
