At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon, the burning of cds for
the purpose of anything outside of private and personal use is illegal.
Out of print does not mean out of copyright, and to make a copy, (for
anyone other than yourself) you must gain the permission of the copyright
holder and pay the appropriate fee.  I know that "everybody does it" but
as one who has and does make his a part of his living from the sale of
recordings, I must protest, respectfully and politely, but nonetheless
firmly, the offering of such activities on a list such as this one.

Most sincerely,
