Over the last day or so, I’ve been on an MP3-ripping rampage–I think I’ve done about 120 CDs in the last day or two. I’ve got a goal to get the rest of the CDs I’ve never got around to ripping (about 1000 or so) digitized before the end of the month, so that I can box them up and put them into storageI can’t get rid of them yet–not until I rip them all losslessly, and I won’t do that until enough players support lossless formats without hackery, and with full tags.<\/footnote>. I won’t hit that, but it’s a goal anyway. I’ve actually moved up a supplemental computer so that I can keep it ripping all day, while I work on my main computer.<\/p>\n

One consequence of all this activity is, obviously, exposure to a lot of stuff I haven’t heard in a few years–it’s been more than a few years now since I used a CD player to listen to music. I think I spent three working hours today listening to William Burroughs spoken word. I was definitely feeling a bit off by the end of that.<\/p>\n

In celebration of all this new old music, here’s a selection of stuff hot off the old EAC<\/a>, for your listening pleasure, with some notes following:<\/p>\n
