Hi, all:

Bearing in mind, of course, in converting to mp3's, you'll lose a lot of that "Steinway" sparkle.

I've never understood why, after a century and a quarter of progress from wax cylinders to 16-bit and now 24 and even 32-bit recording, the public has willingly embraced a significant reduction in sound quality in order to have a cool little playback device.

Betamax forever!
