Thanks, Scott. I've downloaded the MP3s from your site, but if you have a higher quality you'd like me to use, do send the CD. I ripped quite a few of my CDs before I discovered that I couldn't create an MP3 CD if the songs were stored in Apple's proprietary format. I then discovered I could, indeed, rip them in an MP3 format. I was using the 160, but I'll try the 192. I'm not sure if my old ears will be able to hear the difference! I am looking forward to being able to have all that music available in such a small package. I'll try the EAC you recommend, but now I'm going to check out that ipodlounge.
