This is me procrastinating

Dammit, one of my favourite CDs ever appears to be damaged, or something, on my favourite song, to boot.

*insert lots and lots of swearing here*


I love this CD.

Now it's skipping and the machine is making horrible grinding noises at me.

*cries*


I guess I'll have to replace it.

Now in the meantime I'll have to listen to something else while cleaning the pigsty that's pretending to be my apartment.

I think it might be that you wore it out...

I have a friend who told me that it IS possible to wear out CDs... and since you mentioned it is your favourite song, that might well be the case.

as for new copies... see if half.com or amazon or someplace has them used...

And if you have a CD burner, burn a copy of the CD and play THAT instead... that way you can always reburn the CD once the copy wears out... if it does. *g*

Just a thought.

*HUGS*

I have the MP3... could send it to you if you have gmail or other large-format email :)

[mousme.livejournal.com]

I do have gmail, and I think Yahoo is large enough to hold it these days as well. :)

My gmail is, unsurprisingly, phnee01. :)

My yahoo addy is my LJ default. Either way works. Thank you so much!

You rock.

Sent to gmail. :)

If your comp has a CD-ROM drive, there are plenty of ripping software packages that will let you get all the songs off the CD onto MP3. The one I use (CDex, not sure if there's a Mac version) often can clean up scratch errors when creating the MP3 off the disc.

Really? Even for Macs?

[rowen26.livejournal.com]

try iTunes. It was made for Macs. ;)

got to quicktime.com ... I think.

Except you need a credit card, which I don't have.

But thanks for the idea. :)

Really? I'm pretty sure I downloaded a free version of iTunes once.

[curtana.livejournal.com]

Yep... I have a free version on my work computer.
