Yet ANOTHER Chocolate Invasion Thread...

I just started downloading TCI 2night, and I have a few questions.

1) I won't b able 2 d/l all 10 trax 2night, so how do I return 2 the Download page (where the actual FILES r) without having 2 pay another $7.77? Would it work to save the page in my Favorites list?

2) Is burning CDs from Windows Media Player relatively easy? I don't have Roxio, EZ CD Creator or a similar program on my computer (yet). You just right-click 2 burn a Playlist, right?

3) Is Slaughterhouse worth picking up?

4) What r the running times 4 TCI & Slaughterhouse? Would I b able 2 fit both albums on an 80-min CD-R?

Thanx in advance!

1. I think as long as you have the license, you can revisit the page where you download the songs. And if you've already downloaded some songs, then you have the license. I don't know exactly how that works because I downloaded all my songs in one fell swoop - but I know enough to know that you can revisit that page, and I'm sure someone else will be able to articulate the "hows" and "wherefors" of this process better than I can...but I'm really sure you don't have to pay 7.77 to download the rest of your songs.

2. Yeah, it's easy (for me, anyway). On my PC, I can burn stuff directly from Windows Media Player. You should be able to as well, right?

3. Hmmmm....it's spotty. If you haven't heard any of the tracks from Slaughterhouse, I'd say pick it up. It's interesting. If you have most of the tracks scattered around in your collection, I'd say skip it. It reminds me of kinda post-NPS/pre-Rave era noodlings, and Prince's last dip into the well of trying to sound hip-hop.

4. Dunno the exact running times, but they won't both fit on an 80 minute CD. I think both are around 50-55 minutes. I just put stuff like "Magnificent" and the live stuff on the end of mine to fill up extra space.

Thanx 4 the reply, Anxiety. I wasn't a member in Year One, so I've never heard ANY of the material from back then.

Bummer about the running times; I'll have 2 burn each album 2 its own disc. It's a shame 2 waste 20 mins of space, but I have a TON of CD-Rs (I got a stack of 500 around 2 years ago and still have around 485 left 2 use) so I guess it's no big deal!
