Great questions, Gary! I should have been more clear. We would like to rip
them to a hard drive and then have them imported to Music Master for use on
air. We have about 500 cd's that we are starting with.
We are an Audition house, and will ask the Chief Engineer if there is a
similar feature and will make sure that they don't rip them higher than 8 x.
Lou - noted and will pass along!
