Ever since I read this I've been trying to recall what this was, and i finally got around to it... www.liquidaudio.com works something like realaudio, as you have a player, but you can actually burn the tracks to a cd... i used it a few times, thinking it sounded very nice, but it loses its appeal when you go to burn a cd and it informs you that no cd-r device is present.... now that i have a cd-r, it loses its appeal because i don't recall there being anything of interest that i'd actually burn a cd of... but, the point being is that this does exist (no idea how well it works... perhaps i'll try just to see... burn a whole cd of bon jovi or something and give it to my brother for xmas) and is available... i think it'd be *great* if a idm label would try this out... mailorder, same day delivery... the server software might be a bit too $$$ for a small label though...
