Hmm. I just noticed that Agent is dropping messages unexpectedly. For example, I posted message (URL) yesterday. There are now ~12 messages in that thread. As I was reading through messages today, I saw there were 5 or 6 messages in the thread, (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Used to be, before CompUSA bought them, that Computer City would have packs of CD blanks for $20 with a $20 rebate - I just had to pay the tax. Ah, those were the days... -S (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Let's see... this week, Best Buy has an offer for a spindle of 50 CD-Rs, with rebate. Final cost: $19.99USD, plus a stamp and some patience. That's a pretty good deal, I guess. But gee whiz--it's almost 50 cents per disc. ;) I'm holding out (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Cool, thanks for the pointer. Supposedly we're working on putting out such a device too, our CEO's been reportedly playing around with it at home -- but *I* don't have any details yet. *sigh* -- -Steven "Nothin' But Net!" (URL) Maynes" (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) It's been done. :) A company calling itself Pine is coming out with a critter they're naming the D'Music SM-200C, which can read MP3 audio from a CD. I've not checked it out further, but the information I've got lists their website as (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

America. and that they're so bloody small. what i'd love is a portable .mp3 player that reads cd's. ~600MB of .mp3 files will give me *hours* of continuous music at a reasonable (for me) quality. -Steven[1] [1]who's got somewhere around 4GB[2] (...)

Steve, I have not looked too close, but you can get that CD duplicator that is a stand alone unit. It might have a line-in on it. I have been using a Minidisc system from Sony. It is a really sweet system, and I can put anything on it, from Digital (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I've been using Adaptec's Easy CD Creator (basic version came with my Yamaha burner, and I upgraded to Deluxe V3.5), and it seems to be able to handle noise rather well, considering how simple the interface is.
