We've got the PS Engineering CD/Intercom in our plane, and listen to CDs on
long trips.

I am obviously slipping into "dinosaur" status, as I have never downloaded
music, for "burning" onto a blank CD. I *have* burned CDs, but I've always
done it from tracks played off of another CD.

Does anyone here download (and then burn) CDs for listening while in flight?
Any recommended sites? Tips? Are these things still free, or did all the
freebies get sued out of existence? Thanks!

There are still freebies out there, if you know where to look. It's all
peer-to-peer, so everyone can share music with each other. Go to
http://www.kazaa.com for example. Don't you know a teenager? Ask'em,
they'll know what to do.

Buy a CD player that plays MP3s and regular music CDs. A single disc
with music stored in MP3 format can easily store 10 albums of music.
Amazing. There's a minor decrease in quality (depends on what bit rate
you sample the MP3 at), but your hearing's probably going bad as fast as
your prostate anyway, and you won't notice the diff.
