I graduated this past May 2004 from Rochester Institute of Technology (a fairly recognizeable school). I have worked at my current company off and on again for co-ops since 2001. When I finally graduated they offered me $11,000 LESS than what they told me during the interview which even the promised salary was lower than other companies. Their excuse was of the competitive job market and what others were making within the company. Basically I took that as we can pay you the bare minimum salary requirement because you need a job. In my instance I think the job market is very bad (for a IT degree programmer/admin), but I do not know what it was like a few years ago.

I agree. People who complain about the school and how there is nothing to do - don't want to do anything when there is something to do.
www.freerip.com is a free CD ripper with built in CDDB and rips to both ogg and mp3 - great product.
I highly doubt Linux's success was from the availability and use of a music format.
