Umm, now where were we? Oh yeah, music thingies.
I just had a look at Grokster and was surprised to see it listed Windows Media Player as a system requirement; can that be right? I've used WMP for the last couple of years, and as a multi purpose player it was the best imo, but I'm sick to death of it's latest incarnations deciding what I can and can't do, especially when it comes to ripping. I will keep it for mpegs, but I'm on the lookout for another music player, and I'm immediately suspicious of Grokster.
For making mp3's out of WAV's I have just downloaded FreeRip; ripping is all it does, and all it promises to do; simple and very effective. Highly recommended.
I suppose I might finally have to give in to Winamp for a player.
