She searched through our personal music collection and found most of the music she wanted, but she wanted to round things out with a few more songs.

I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly everything went.

And hey, wow — our Memorex 52x CDRW is hella fast! It burned 56 minutes worth of audio in 2 minutes. Awesome! Since I had just installed the CDRW a couple of days ago, this was the first real test it had
