Why not simply convert the downloaded files (.wav, or whatever) to MP3? I
do that with Audition but there is no doubt a good bit of cheaper software
that will do the same. No need to make a CD image.

Is there a way to make the computer think a directory on my hard drive
is a CD burner so I can do a virtual burn and then rip mp3 files from
there w/out actually having to burn a physical CD?

Thanks
