Here’s something for you if you get bored…

Make me an MP3 CD with ATLEAST 50 songs on it:

  • Put whatever you want on it
  • It must be organized in a logical fashion based on the CD
    • If it a CD of Scores/Soundtracks, organize it by the Game/Movie it came from
    • If it is just songs by Various artists,  categorize by Artists

How to create an MP3 CD:

  • Data/CD ISO (Preferred since you can make folders)
    • Place blank CD in you Burner
      • If you use a CD Burning program, open in and enter the DATA or CD ISO creation
      • Windows CD Burning wizard also works I believe
    • Create FOLDERS for your organizational structure
      • NO Sub-Folders, the player can only read one folder deep
      • Example:
        If you are making a Soundtrack CD, make folder’s like this:

        • Aladdin
        • Spider-man
        • Transformers
        • Transformers 2
        • Watchmen
    • Once you are finished making the folders, make sure they are sorted Alphabetically
      Sometimes it actually makes a difference….
  • iTunes: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-an-MP3-CD-Using-iTunes
    • One thing they leave out is that, if I remember correctly, how you have it sorted in iTunes, is how it burns to the CD.
    • iTunes doesn’t make folders, but that’s alright if this is the only way you can do it.

Let me know if you have any trouble with any of this, and thanks in advance!

Going GoogleVoice

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

I have had a GrandCentral account for a long time now. Since before Google bought them out and then recently turned it into GoogleVoice. I have always loved the service but never really used it, mainly because it didn’t accept SMS (text messages)…. That’s all about to change. I want everyone that has or needs my number to try and use my Google Voice number exclusively. My reasoning for this is that I may soon be getting a new phone, and may get a new number with it which I’m not going to bother to try and update everyone on, I however will always have the GoogleVoice number.

There will of course be a few exceptions to the rule, like if you are on verizon and have limited text messaging or minutes, but this will be my primary number for calls, texts, everything.

So to make this easier on everyone, just use my GoogleVoice number please. It is EightSixFour.SixFourTwo.FourThreeOneEight
