It's not actually MP3 format. It's AAC (Advanced Audio Codec). That
difference might be lost on most people, but it's important. Playing from
your computer (using iTunes) or burning to a CD is no problem. But if
you're planning to transfer your tunes to a portable player, you'll want to
make sure that it supports AAC. A lot of manufacturers are going with the
"Microsoft Standard" of WMA, and excluding AAC.

One way around that is to burn the tunes to CD and then rip them to
whichever format you need. Audiophiles will howl (because you're adding
losses upon losses), but the rest of us probably won't be able to tell the
difference.

Good to know. Thanks, Larry.
