They have no problem wasting your time. At $100 for that program they only need a tiny few from each site that gets posted on and sadly there are always the few who will bite without investigating a program's real worth

I have used the free jetAudio for about 5 years now and I am very happy with it. Now, I am no music aficionado but enjoy a bit of internet radio occasionally. You can see from the blurb I pasted in below what it can do. Each of us has our own ideas on good and bad so you may need to experiment with a few. From jetAudio web site:- JetAudio is integrated multimedia software made up of a single compact rack. Not only does it play various music and video files, it also has features such as CD burning, recording, and conversion to other file formats.

Grady is right of course, your sound depends on the quality of your speakers system or head phones and sound card. I have my computer connected to my stereo system.

I have used RCA, Sandisk, iRiver and SonyÂs over the last 5 years. I would recommend one of the iRiver MP3 players .... very simple drag and drop loading of songs ,,,,sound qualiy comparable to iPODÂs. Cheap on ebay. The 512mb memory will hold at least 90 songs and has FM. Comes with an armband usually. Uses one single AA battery ,,,,, simple power is the best power,,,, a spare AA is always somewhere to be found ,,,, I use the NiMH rechargables. Avoid SonyÂs as their computer interface "bites" ,,,, loading them is a pain. Avoid any device with an actual hard drive ,,,, they are more prone to shock,,, and they will fail eventually. Ya I know there cool ,,,,, but a friends with a dead, but pretty iPod has turned me off those,,,,, nice if "value for your money" is not your main concern. The Sandisk I had won used a nice large screen, was simple, sounded great and was OK to load ÂÂ but it wasnÂt so good as to go to the trouble of installing and learning it to replace any of the 3 iRivers we run in this family. One complaint with iRiver is they have lots of shared buttons ,,,,, so learning every feature is a bit cumbersome. I also use a Sony-Ericson phone/camera/mp3 player for music now ,,,,, combines devices for me ,,,,, great sound ,,,,, but the interface just "BITES" (I really mean it!). Good luck,,,,,,KC

welcome :) lol.. i LIKE canada but i was born here so i guess i'm used to the snow. we're actually considering a move 10 hours north of where we are now (for job opportunities.. not the snow!) right now, we're about an hour and half from toronto. i saw your pictures from your other post. beautiful stuff!! i really loved the pieces of wood. i've never seen anything like that before. as far as glass cutting, i just use the running pliers and a ruler if i need squares and hope for the best. i don't use a lot of squares though.. usually just random shapes.
