Thanks Derek,
This is very helpful. Do you know of anyone who would
do this conversion for me? I am shopping for a
computer but don't expect to buy for another 1-2
months. I already have my web space reserved at
Taoconductor.com and pay for it monthly. I want to get
the music up as soon as possible...I want at least 5-6
full tracks done soon.
