Title: Favourite Motorcycle Song
Post by: Canuck on March 11, 2006, 10:53:08 PM
I am starting to build my mp3 music library in anticipation of some great roadtrips this summer and I need your help to build an %$(#@ kicking selection of motorcycle crusing music.  My favourite song for cruising is Midnight Rider by the Allman Brothers.  I can't think of a better forum for building a good list of biker tunes.

Went out on the weekend and bought Harley Road Songs Volume 1 and 2!  Once again, my pet-peev with CD's; half the songs were good and the other half was filler >:(  All for the low price of $26 for each volume.  I downloaded a number of the songs on this list from Itunes but they can not be burned in Mp3 format >:(  I am tired of getting ripped off on music.  Looks like it is time to download Limewire again and "steal" the music.  I wish this industry could get this figured out.

Thanks ezridn, I will check out those suggestions.  If I could figure this out, I would definetly prefer the itunes option. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Thanks ezridn, that works great [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  Who would have known it would be so easy.  Just burn the AAC protected files to a cd and then import them back to your computer in mp3 format!  Thanks, you just saved me a ton of frustration and some dough.  I owe you a beer at Cripple Creek for sure.
