[Ham-Computers] Assistance With Music Downloads

[JV]

Good Morning  Duane
    I have copied a lot of old LPs onto a CD using Sound Forge. I could get
two albums on one CD. So tell your friend to have a big bunch of CDs, hi hi.
BTW, this was very time consuming. I think it took around two hours per
recording. Also, the process is not simple.

Hi All,
 
I do not download music from the Internet. I am a serious audio devotee for
forty years and simply have no need to do that. Hence I know very little
about
doing so. But I have an elderly Ham friend who is very limited in his
computer
skills who just loves to get on-line and download tunes to play.
 
It is not going to be too much longer before he runs out of hard drive space
at
the rate that he is going. i have explained this to him in as simple of
terms as
I can, he gets the idea but keeps on happily downloading. I know that phone
call
for assistance is pending!
 
So here is my question:
 
What can I do to enable him to download direct to a CD burner so that he can
download until said CD is full, finalize it and then pop in a new CD and
happily
fill it up? Now remember, his skills are 'minimal'! The more simple, the
better.
 
 
Maybe an external device for mass data storage, the MP3 or whatever?
 
I would appreciate your learned suggestions as to the best way to go to
permit
him his enjoyment, prevent him from running out of HD space and keeping it
simple. For both of us!
 
Thank you!
