I use FreeRIP MP3 - which converts to wav, mp3 or ogg. I got it from cnet, they might take it down but I still have a copy of the install program from the version I am currently using.
yep, actually as far as new subdirectories go, i belong to a group of online self-representing artists (ebsq) which does have a contract with eBay. eBay recently introduced a new category for self-representing artists, so that they could list separately from people selling mass-produced prints, and works from galleries. introducing that category was a big step in separating collectible art from mass-produced art, so they are listening. i think it's going to be really interesting to read the full details of coverage and how it can be affected (bad sales month, etc). offering health insurance is a humane move, if they can actually get it to work out.
actually i don't thing the insurance is a bad idea, all i'm saying is that it is following other trends that eBay has implemented lately.
and yeah, i bought my own domain with the intent to be able to promote that on my own without worrying about eBay visiblity. however, it's always going to be true that if you only have a few items listed while others have hundreds, your visibility is reduced.
anyway, it's not like it matters too much. i just miss the fact that eBay used to be a hot market for hard to find and one of a kind items, and now if you do any kind of search there, you get hundreds of auctions for wholesale lists and cheap toys from china. eh.
i actually did quit my really good day job so that i could sell on eBay. and it's not so bad, actually. i could easily hit the insurance mark if i didn't have to dedicate half of my hours to college work, which is fine with me, it's the second reason i quit the first job because of scheduling conflicts.
and i'm not whining - i can easily go (and pretty much have gone) elsewhere, i'm just nostalgic for the strange stuff you used to find on eBay. so sue me for missing the old days when there were "mom-and-pop" locales rather than corporate entities.
as eBay becomes more and more friendly towards mass-produced selling, it becomes harder and harder for the sellers of one-of-a-kind items, such as art, to be seen or sell their items, forcing us to move elsewhere.
as a small business trying to operate mainly on eBay (for credit card purposes), this is another step in proving how corporate they have become, and another step in eliminating the small sellers, which was the whole purpose of eBay to begin with, the access to COLLECTIBLES not mass-produced merchandise.
It also depends on the size of the school and how tough they are actually willing to come down on offenders.
The limits placed on the computers at the university I attend are fairly simple to get around by running the programs from your own desktop and using a plug-and-play drive to avoid using hard disk space.
Of course, computer services knows when this is happening, but it is still being allowed.

The problem with installing win2k (other than the fact that you're installing win2k in the first place) is that even if you do change the permissions to only allow writing to the desktop, many programs (including several p2p programs such as audiogalaxy and napster) allow the user to choose the install directory, bypassing administrative lockout.
Users then simply create a new folder under which to run these programs and still use mega-bandwidth.

here is a link to a picture of the new cd - it is clear and about 2.5? times the size of a regular cd.
