TidBITS#526/10-Apr-00

"Psst! Wanna buy a PC?" To a Mac user, purchasing a PC feels like
an illicit transaction, but many of us will at some point have to
plunk down cash for an Intel-based computer. This week Adam looks
at how to do battle with the dark side and still retain your
sanity. We also report on Apple's poorly documented release of Mac
OS 9.0.4, plus Darwin 1.0, Virtual PC with Windows 2000, BeOS 5,
and the middleware platform wannabe Netscape 6.

Converting MP3 Files

I going to burn an audio CD from assorted sources - other CD's, old
records, and would like to inlude a few MP3 tracks. I need to convert
the MP3 tracks into the format for audio CD's (I think it's AIFF),
and would like to know what software will do that. Will Soundjam or
some other commercial product do that, or are there some shareware
utilities that will do the same thing? Thanks for any info.
