Mystery solved! (see previous item)
One reader helpfully volunteered that he was responding to "Make Your Music Digital" -- an article that describes the process of converting music from CD to MP3 format.

What's funny is that I wrote this article more than a year ago. It was published on MochaSofa.ca in May of 2001.

Why did so many people discover the article today? It's been there for a year, in plain sight. But it took a year for the editors at MSN.ca to find it. (If you visit the MSN.ca home page today, you'll find a link to my old article. Mystery solved!)

The date of the article doesn't appear until the end, so it's understandable that so many people think it's new. The basics of the article stand up pretty well a year later, but my recommendations for software are a little out of date.

For example, SoundJam for the Mac was discontinued shortly after the article was published.

Oh, well. Whether you're arriving on this page from MSN or MochaSofa or parts unknown, Welcome! Thanks for reading my stuff. As long as you're here, why not bookmark this site and sign up for my weekly newsletter?
