Muzak Encoding at Home?

zonker asks: "I work for a company that requires Muzak to be played over the speaker system all day long. However, I work into the night, well passed closing time, and often just crank up my own tunes on a computer with a nice set of speakers. I've been curious if anyone has developed any software that allows you to encode and burn to whatever format Muzak is using to make their discs. I've scraped around the net and haven't seen anything like it other than other people in similar environments that would like to make their own Muzak discs for their own after hours enjoyment. That thread has some interesting informational tidbits for starters. Does anyone on Slashdot know anything more about this?"

      I have become a perverse enjoyer of Muzak - especially the traditional Montivani/1001 Strings variety!

      I really did when they get a Dylan tune going in soft, tinkly piano and have the whole sound compressed like helium.

    Just because words sound the same doesn't mean you can switch them.

    Ahem. "You should have" instead. The "should of" sound you are looking for is the contraction, "should've." Check your own before you check anyone else's.

    Disregard that.
