Hey, Mary. If you're running Windows (which most people are) go here:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows
Download Audacity for free, and you'll also need to download LAME mp3 encoder (on the same page)
When you get these installed, you should be able to open audacity and open a file from the CD (it'll be in .wav format). Once you open it in Audacity, go to file/export. A box will open up for putting more info in but you can just click on "yes" or "ok" (can't remember which) and it'll take you to the next step of saving the file. There is a drop down box for type of file. Choose mp3 and name your file (song name) at the top of the box and click OK. Another box may appear that says "quality" and the slider is set for around 84%. I always slide it to 100% just for good measure. This will compress the file to 1/10th of the size and you should be able to post that mp3 on here.

Mary - you gotta transfer it to MP3 format.

Mary, I just thought about something. Your Windows media player may have a Rip CD function. If it does just put your CD in and when media player comes up click on Rip CD and it will take the songs off the CD and put them in a specified folder as mp3 files. This might be easier for you.

Didn't read all posts, but it's just downright crazy: He admitted many times that he INDEED shared a bed with NUMEROUS kids. I don't care if he didn't touch them. If they ain't your kids, why would you do that in the first place?
His reply was something along the lines of: It was all simply innocent and playing with children in a non-sexual form.

Sharing a bed is one thing and playing with mini-cars and trains on the floor is another.

Having said that.. he was a disturbed person. Not his fault, but it doesn't mean he was not guilty. His father pushed him to the limit and past that, when he was a very young kid. Pressured to no end. Being repeatedly told you're not going anywhere because you're black at an early age, fucked up his sense of self-pride.

As a musician, he was a good singer, especially when he was a kid. As a performer, there's nothing to be said: Go watch a live video.

So, RIP, guilty man, for you can no longer be guilty.

I don't give a sheet. He's a dead man and whatever he HAS done will be dealt with at some future point. I wonder just how many CLEAN people, variants from an older age reside here without ever reaching, YET throwing a stone?

I've thrown many.

You know what I do see that...I will try that. Hopefully I will have something up by tomorrow.
