Uncle bought a Lyra..he wants to take the music that be bought and put it on the Lyra...i told him the easiest way in XP would be burn the CD then rip the tunes...is there an easier way?

That's way to complicated, and it will also result in a loss of music quality. I can think of three easier possibilities:

1) The Lyra mounts as a drive, in which case he just has to copy the MP3 files over, or

2) Windows Media Player can sync the music on the Lyra, in which case you can just let WMP copy the MP3 over, or

3) The Lyra ships with its own custom software to copy the MP3 files over.

In any case, burning, then ripping, is kind of pointless since MP3 is a cross platform format.

Unless he was talking about putting songs he purchased off the iTMS. Then the burn and re-rip would be the way to go.

You're right PurpleGiant. I saw the reference to iTunes music, but not the later reference to "that he bought."
