I think the idea here is to download each hour, turn the mp3s into wav files, and burn it to CD, but if you're as happy with mp3's as I am you could save the whole mess on 3 discs. If you're just not into all this downloading there are ready made CDs available, CLICK HERE for details. Sharing? Yes, please, I'd like to think that each listener will share with someone and my legendary legend will grow legendarily.
Thank you.
