Having been involved in cpu's for the past 25 years (hardware and software) I have gone from rock to classical and now I am listening to New Age (Eric Tingstad, Secret Garden, Hillary Stagg to name a few). I have the Dish Network satellite receiver and the programming includes a large number of audio (music) only channels, with no talking or commercials. I record 6 hours worth on a vcr tape then go through the tape listening for songs I like. When I find one, I check it against the spread sheet of songs recorded so far. If not present then I record it to my computer. Once I have enough for a CD I burn a CD. So far I have 39 such CD's that average less than 2 minutes of unused space on the CD. I have started moving my old vinyl records to CD. The Larry Fast Synergy albums remain some of my favorite - there were 4 in all as I recall - one was of clear vinyl. Pretty cool to look through.
