TSGL: A PROGRAM TO CONTROL THE SOUND ON A CD

[Trio800_BonBon]

You're welcome.

30 gigs is plenty to DL to the hardrive and still have 
plenty of space left over.

I was going to suggest that if you need more space and 
have the USB 2 ports, then an EXTERNAL hard drive would 
be better then a cdrw. But I don't think you need more 
space.

You could easily DL 5 gigs or more of music and burn 
them to CD & delete them as you have time.

And if you DL MP3s, that's a WHOLE lot of music in 5 
gigs!!!!
