Someone said "You're using something of value without paying for
it". when speaking of downloading music.

When I listen to music on my car radio, I am using something of value
and I'm not paying for it. Oh! shame on me. Now if I want to record it
on cassette, 8 track, CD, or even get my note pad out and write it down
to read and hum along later, that is my business. Next they are going to
tell me if I loan my hammer to someone, he or me will have to pay for it
again because he is using something of value without paying for it. I
know a hammer isn't a song but is is still "something of value".

The advertisers have paid for it for you. If you want to play the radio
stations or prerecorded music on your business music on hold system,
"rebroadcast" legally you must pay an annual fee to RIAA.

Actually, its more like; you are a brilliant inventor and you just invented the
hammer, nothing else like it exists. You have a patent on it and you would like
to make a living from this new invention. You don't have the financial
resources to market or manufacture large quantities of hammers so you sell your
patent or provide a license to a large corporation who will pay you a royalty
for every hammer they sell on your and now also their behalf. For a while it
provided a good and steady income for you. You quit your old job as a factory
worker and are working full time to develop other great ideas. However the
money stream has slowed and you haven't got any of your other new ideas ready
and you might have to try to get your old job back. Many early customers have
bought one of your hammers used and liked them so much they have now made
identical molds from the originals and are now giving them away for free to
anyone and everyone they know. Your dream of a secure income is quickly fading.

Your example is such a poor one that it is almost funny. First, the hammer you
loan out is something that you paid for to begin with. It is yours by right of
that payment and you can loan it or even give it away if you so desire. The
difference is that loaning the hammer to someone else denies you the use of the
hammer in the mean time and does not duplicate the hammer in the process. When
you download music, copy CD's and otherwise reproduce music without paying for
the right, you are stealing a potiential sale from the owner of the rights to
reproduce and sell the music (or software). When you listen to music on your
car radio, you are paying for that song by buying the products of the station
sponsors, who pay the stations, and the stations pay for playing the song. It
is not free.

But the radio station IS paying for it. As for recording you are not getting
a digitly perfect copy as you are on a download. Hence it has never been
that popular of a way to get music and it certainly didn't replace the sales
of records.

As far as the hammer is concerned if you have a way that both you and the
person or 10,000,000 people you lend it to can use it at the same time I'm
sure they will come up with a licencing agreement for the product.

Let me ask you this. Is there a price that the record industry could set
that you would then say that "Hey, I don''t need to pirate music anymore."?

We've got the PS Engineering CD/Intercom in our plane, and listen to CDs on
long trips.

I am obviously slipping into "dinosaur" status, as I have never downloaded
music, for "burning" onto a blank CD. I *have* burned CDs, but I've always
done it from tracks played off of another CD.

Does anyone here download (and then burn) CDs for listening while in flight?

Well, sort of. We burn CDs of MP3 files, which we play in an
MP3/CD player. The advantage is you can get a lot more music
onto a single disk.

I also have a 256 MB MP3 player which is about half the size
of a pack of cigarettes and will hold 8-9 hrs of music, downloaded
thru the USB port of any PC.

Any recommended sites? Tips? Are these things still free, or did all the
freebies get sued out of existence? Thanks!

Pretty much the freebies got sued enough that people are
hesitant to put stuff out there. There are a number of sites
where one can download MP3s for a fee. This is especially
good for small recording studios and relatively unknown artists,
and we've gotten some cool stuff we really like that way.

We also record cassette tapes and even (speaking of dinosaur status)
LP records into MP3 files on our computer then burn disks. Your
kids are a bit old for it to matter, but this is especially useful
for people with young kids to entertain.

My son just turned me on to "iTunes." Download the software from the web
site then go to the store and buy tunes for $.99 each. The software lets
you burn the CD directly from the iTunes program and translates from mp3
format to what ever it is supposed to be to run on regular CD players.
If you try to use you own CD burner program by just drag and dropping
the music file it won't play on regular CD players. Found some Joan Bias
(I know, Baez) and John Denver that I had never heard before. Lot of
good Jazz and there is no charge for classical music.
