Oh I love jazz Sax. Here are a couple of performers and any of their CDs would be good. I think Boney James is the best and I love his music..sexy. Anything he does is good and I have most of his CDs. Seduction is my favorite though. Another really good musician is Richard Elliot and any of his CDs would be good. There is always Kenny G and he's wonderful but pretty mainstream and does more pop type music. Boney and Richard are considered smooth jazz. Then there is the very very traditional old sax players but I don't know a lot about them. Heck...I forgot another one who is excellent and I've gone to his concerts and have his cds too...Dave Koz. Everyone likes him and again you can't go wrong with any of his music. My favorite album of his is- The Dance and I play it a lot. Good luck to you.

Import the songs into iTunes: Insert the CD, and wait for iTunes to show the songs in the CD, and then click on "Import." The songs will automatically create a Library of songs within iTunes. Once a library is created, if you now connect the iPod to your computer, iTunes will automatically transfer the songs to the iPod. Of course, you can also download music from the Internet with iTunes. There is a PC as well as a Mac version of iTunes. The CD that comes with the iPod has both versions, but it's a good idea to update the application every now and then. For iTunes to do all that, you must set its "Preferences." There is something else about the iPod, and soon other products: Some car stereos (look at the Crutchfield catalog) are iPod ready, while others require an optional electronic box. If you use one of these radios and have an iPod, you no longer need a CD changer. All you have to do is to connect the iPod to the radio, or to the control box, and the radio's display show the songs being played. You can scroll to whatever song you have in the iPod from the radio display. If you have 10,000 songs in your iPod, you can drive across the US listening to your music. The control box, keeps the iPod's battery fully charged. Other companies should jump on this technology any time now.

The iPod is the most popular of all the players. The Nano with a 2GB drive is the smallest of the iPod series, costs $149.00 (cheaper in some places), and holds hundreds of songs. All iPods come with iTunes installed, and you can set it to automatically transfer songs from your computer into the iPod, or you can do that manually. You can also upload songs from your CD's into the computer, and download them to the iPod. Or you can set iTunes in your computer to automatically connect to the Apple Store, when you can buy and automatically download/install songs into the iPod. iTunes works with both PC and Macintosh computers. When you connect the iPod to your computer for the first time, iTunes automatically launches and makes some changes to match itself to your computer (PC version, or Mac version). There are smaller units that cost under $100.00. For example the iPod Shuffle. However, the you can do a lot more with an iPod Nano, either in 2GB or 4GB. You can also have photos to look at in your iPod, and even movies in the larger iPod's. (Movies are sold at the Apple Store), but you can download a movie from your computer into your iPod. Also, if you are into radio transmissions, you can have a session of songs and voice, and the little iPod can take care of the rest (play the songs from your playlist on the air.-------- Something else about the iPod: Most receiver, radio, etc. manufacturers are incorporating iPod docking stations. Even car audio units are being produced to be fully compatible with the iPod. So if you connect your iPod to your car's stereo, you can control the iPod with your radio's controls, and the songs names (or bands, etc.) are displayed on the radio's screen. If you don't have an iPod compatible radio, you still can listen to whatever songs you have in your iPod via one of the numerous low-cost FM transmitters sold at Wall-Mart and electronic stores. You can do the same at home on your stereo system, or on a radio. Finally, no other MP3 player on the market has as numerous after-market items available to the public than the iPod.

There is also: 'A Change will do you Good' by Sheryl Crowe 'Happy' by the Rolling Stones-love that Keith Richards sound. 'Glad Tidings' by Van Morrison - great bouncy tune guaranteed to cheer you up 'Glory Days' by Bruce Springsteen - to remind us not to live in the past 'I'm Lucky' by Joan Armatrading 'I Like It' and 'Truth Number Two' by the Dixie Chicks 'Raised on Robbery' by Joni Mitchell - another bouncy tune in the theme of Men Are Rotten (a thought which we all sometimes need to indulge in) 'Kick it Out' by Heart 'Addicted to Love' by Robert Palmer 'No More No More' by Aerosmith 'Train in Vain' by the Clash 'Don't Bring me Down' by Electric Light Orchestra 'You're Breaking my Heart' by Harry Nilsson (best break up lyrics EVER!) I have all those on my iPod playlist. And FWIW, if the budget allows I would recommend treating yourself to an iPod if you don't have one already. You can set up tons of playlists and keep so much music. And it's portable, so you can have some cheering up sounds with you at all times! Good luck and stay strong, Ann
