G'day brioc,

If you have a "CD Burner" program on your computer, it will save the contents - or any track - of a CD ... perhaps as a ~.wav file ... much too big to send to anyone. However, on a PC you may have MS Media Player - and this will save a track in ~.wma format. For the average track, this comes to 2 or 3 MB ... a lot to email, but not impossible - and this plays at "near CD" quality in the recipient's Windows Media Player (I sent some John Warner song tracks to MMario by this means recently, so he could judge my revised MIDIs of the songs tunes).

There are MP3 programs that let you save at much higher compressions - and still sound quite good ... certainly fine for hearing and identifying a tune. I have not used one ... yet!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
