[BC] Downloading music

[engineermike]

Best bet would be to buy the CD's and rip them to your computer and then you can 
burn whatever you want.  You'll own the original and you'll be clear with the 
laws that cover what you wish to do.  I doubt you'll find online anything that 
will work for you.  Another option would be to contact some of the automation 
companies and see if you can send them a hard drive and buy only the songs you 
want and then burn them from that drive.  You'll have to figure out how to own 
them first though as they won't do it unless you own the rights.
Later
