How to make them, download them, organize them, play them, and take them with you.

  

Complete Coverage

Creative Nomad

Everyone from Jack and Diane to me and Bobby McGee is getting hooked on MP3 music. Thanks to the "squeeze bits until they scream" compression of this digital music format, you can download free tunes from the Internet, store them on your hard drive for a mere 3MB or so each, and transfer them to pocket-size portable devices. And the sound quality is great.

To get you going, we'll walk you through the most important steps: finding and using an MP3 player program, downloading new tunes from the Net, and converting your existing CD collection to MP3s.

Worried about how much this is gonna cost? Don't be. We know that what's important is having cash to buy new CDs, so we've made sure to track down cost-free ways to satisfy your budding MP3 habit.
