Thank you for the review trailgirl. We do not desire ice and water in the door either. After a bunch more reading it is obvious many of these newer mid-level fridges have noise complaints. Quietness is very important because of our floorplan design. I see that the LG 21776ST receives decent reviews concerning noise and actually comes in under our $3K budget. We currently have a standard model 15 year old Maytag that has been queit and care-free. I cringe at needing to justify spending $5K on a fridge to expect that out of a new one.

Did you get any CD burning software with your computer? Two common programs are Roxio and Nero. Usually, when you get a computer with CD/DVD burners, they include some software for burning. If you got one of those, there should be an option that says something like copy an audio CD (or maybe just copy a cd). If you don't have one of those, let us know. There are probably free programs that will do what you want. It's just that you may already have something installed and not need to download anything.

Thanks, Zep516! I'm stretching my old grey cells around the wonderful info on your site. If (When) I have more questions/issues, should I ask the question here...on one that site? Again, Thanks. I know I'll manage this, it's just slow going for my analog mind.

I would 'recommend' the RCA 2768i 300W total. Sells at Walmart for $137.00 5CD changer, Ipod dock and charger; digital Stereo Radio... I own one, and have been using it since slightly before Aug 1st /09 virtually 24x7 - and have experienced no problems whatsoever. (the first unit we purchased was BROKE, and did NOT function - at all.) Returned, and next works just fine thank you... Has two 'large' speakers attached with wire. If wire is to short - you can easily add some... Since this is a 'compact' stereo - the unit does not include any type of Balance control (left/right) for the speakers. Also - if it was on 'radio' when you turned it off - when you turn it on - it will be on FM radio... doesn't matter if you were listening to an AM station... If you mute it - and change source (radio to cd) - the mute will auto cancel out... All radio presets are just one continuous... so you can change quickly from AM to FM as you flip up your Radio presets. 32 presets total. Separate Aux input; Ipod input, etc. You can control your Ipod selection from the Remote (remote doesn't include batteries (2AAA)) (I don't own an ipod). The cd changer can hold 5 cds. You can play all at once, or only tell it to play 1,3 & 5; or tell it to play only cd4 Or tell it to play only 1 cd. Or only have 1 cd in it... You can tell it to play a bunch of titles all divided up between cd's... You can have it repeat 1 track or 1 cd; or all cd's... When the CD player changes track - there is a slight quick chirp. Laser moving or something. Doesn't bother me... it did bother someone else quite a lot - who returned it to Walmart. (She reviewed it.) The volume goes quite high, but I'm not one to overload or clip audio. Has RCA input plugs, headphone out... And has a 1 year warranty - parts and labor. Some people have panned it, saying RCA customer service is junk. Don't know about that. I listen to scripture a lot, and I have literally had it on for almost 24x7 since purchased just before August. No problems. I left a review on it after a week - at Walmart. For the price - I find this unit hard to beat. Keeps your presets if power goes out... Also has a sleep timer - for if you want to listen to some stuff - but have it shut off automatically later on... Some of the spec's at Walmart are messed. This is not a 500W unit;; and it does not play DVD's etc. It is a stereo... not a movie or picture player Hope this helps. Here is a link that might be useful: RCA unit at Walmart RS2768I
