If you want to play MP3s in your CD player, you need to convert the tunes to .wav files--MusicMatch and Real.com's software will do that--then burn them. The files, of course, will expand tenfold.

After oil prices receded in the early '80s, his company bought oil tankers and drilling rigs at scrap-metal prices and later sold them for a tenfold gain. But he's lost big betting the company's cash against the Standard & Poor's 500, and its stock has suffered as a result...
