Drat.

Does anyone have an mp3 version of Metallica's Battery?

I'm trying to move it into iTunes and both versions I have are bloody useless wma files. Excuse me a moment while I swear at Microsoft and their damned Mac-vendetta that makes them create software that non-Mac-compatible. *kicks*

I'm emailable at icarus.ancalion@gmail.com

That's brilliant. So when I rip a CD I can pick the format? Cool.

djin7 came to my rescue, but what is Nero?

What's happening is that the downloaded file started out as a wma file.

The only program I have that will burn CDs (this is at the office where I can't install software) is iTunes.

At home I'm running Win98, which slows to a crawl, sputters then crashes with any current music software -- even if it's supposed to be Win98-compatible. (

ze_dragon game me an older version of WinAmp that works beautifully on Win98, but doesn't burn CDs.)

wma files will not play in iTunes. Microsoft's designed them so iTunes can't even recognise them. I drag it over to iTunes -- and it's spit out, pwang!

So before

djin7's generousity I had a copy of Battery that nothing but Windows Media Player would even open.

I can tell you about Nero. I have the Nero5 Burning Room program which can do almost anything you want with music or video. Converts/burns/backs up yadda yadda. See it here (http://www.mycableshop.com/sku/NERO55.htm).

*g*

wma files will not play in iTunes.

I just noticed while trying to import some of your wma-files of the soundtrack that iTunes actually converts them to mp3. I got a message if the program should do that and it worked.

I think someone's already pointed you to info about Nero.

Hopefully you've got a long-term solution in place by now. :)

(I've got iTunes on my mac, and that's my cd burner on that computer. So burning cds is generally how I get *any* file over from one to the other)

Actually, I lose all ability to burn CDs when this job ends. None of these programs work on Win98 at home. But when I upgrade to XP... that'll be a different story. (Icarus searches pockets for a spare $100.)

I've got a proper copy of Nero, packaging says it works with win98 (heck, says it works with win95!). Min system requirements: pentium 90, 16mb ram, 12mb hard drive space.

Oh really? Wow. A lot of these programs say they work on Win98 and then don't, but those system requirements are very low.

I hate when that happens. Stupid me not paying attention and not logging in.
