Well.....
I've been musing over the idea of getting a portable MP3 player, I listen to music almost exclusively on the way to and from school and such, and I'm getting tired of scrounging up my CD's from the car and whatever. That and I also really like silly little electronic toys in that stereotypical man sort of way. I might just buy it for my wife for christmas, then steal it for myself to go to school. Its not quite as bad as the bowlingball with Homer's name written on it.

Problem is that I'm not really knowing anything about them, which I feel pretty silly about. I did grow up with casette tapes and records though so I shouldn't feel to bad. My very first album was Pearl Jam's Ten, which I had on casette and probably came close to wearing out. I think I still have it in a box with my other tapes, probably next to Megadeth and GN'R.

Anyway, back to MP3's, I'm going to ask some stupid questions and hopefully y'all can help or at least point me in the right direction.

1. Can you just pop a CD into your computer and create MP3's to put in your player? Is there some sort of program that does this?

2. Anyone know of a good MP3 player or brand, or what do you have? I'm hoping ideally to have a player that is PC and Mac compatible on the fly.

3. Mommy, where do MP3's come from?

thanks all!
