We just re-arranged our home office and, as a result, I no longer have a stereo on my desk. This isn't a problem--I still have access to a stereo, just not as conveniently. I thought I'd take this opportunity to leap into the digital age and start using some of the 220GB of unused space on my hard drive. Thus, instead of loading three CDs in the stereo to shuffle all week, I'm going to rip one CD each day and start building an Mp3 library.

My question for you readers is: what advice do you have for using such a library? I'm using the cheapo software that came with my Dell at present, but is there something better? Should I be downloading iTunes? I haven't got an iPod and don't expect to get one (though who knows). What can I do with a bunch of Mp3s?
