If you have no internet but want your music as a file, that's how you go about it.

    Indeed! Of all things, uncle turned me on to higher bitrate 320k VBR, highest quality .mp3 rips.

    I got his CD collection after he died (his own music was lost as the drive had failed while he was in the nursing home) but before he passed, I took a few weeks and re-ripped everything for him. Gave him a junker MacBook and loaded up it and his iPod with his favorite music.

    The last day I saw him - 3 days before he died, he was already seeing people that weren't there and talking to them, which is part of the dying process I'm told...

    I put his iPod on him and played him his favorite artist - Miles Davis and he stopped when the song Générique (go listen to it, it is a beautiful song) came on and he looked at me - SAW me - and smiled and said it was his favorite Miles tune.

    We chatted for a few minutes more and he fell asleep and I told him I loved him and gave him a kiss and left for work. Passed away the day after the Eclipse in 2024.

    Best gift I got was that jazz library from him.
