Luckily it was already ripped onto my computer. I guess my current ritual is to open, rip, read liner notes on lunch break... add to ever increasing stack of unorganized CD's.

I don't know if I'd ever leave the house.<br/><br/>Blake: I don't know how many more direct Seinfeld references you can expect, but I do often get the feeling that I might be running the country music blogging equivalent of a show about nothing.

It can also be accessed from the internet, to make playlists, etc. Those rooms all have little keypads to play, pause, etc. It's nice when cooking and stuff, but my dad uses it more than I do.
