Here are the steps I take while processing MP3 files.
1: Mass download fron newsgroups, ftp etc...
2: Listen to them all when they have downloaded
3: Delete songs I dont like
4: Group the songs I do like together
5: If I like the band then buy their songs on CD.
Point being MP3 files are a great way to PREVIEW an artists work before you
go out and buy their CD.
A preview of Doctor, Doctor by the Who prompted me to buy Magic Bus: On
Tour. I love the Album, I love the Who.
Nuff said.
Mini James.
