------------------
I'm pretty sure the sharing of sound files isn't exactly kosher, as any
permissions I've received from publishers have included a statement
something to the effect of : "permission is granted if materials will only
be used by enrolled students and made accessible only at certain
pre-determined locations."
As to the MP3 players, the WinAmp player is shareware and it will "rip" from
MP3 to .wav if desired. It also does a nice job with play lists.
Additionally, the RealJukebox is freeware (beta version) and it will "rip"
from CDs to MP3 and .wav.
