GENERAL INFO (THANKS TO FM):

**** YOTTANEWS ****
Has a **FREE** binary groups news account that gives you 1-gig/month of download allowance just for
registering. 
You give them a valid email and they send you back account connection instructions. With that
allowance
you can get more than a full CD there. They have 7-10 day retentions and fairly good completion
(enough so that par
will usually work on what they do have.) Sometimes the free server is off line just when you need
it though 
and sometimes it's slow. It's FREE! It's a great zero-cost back up. Try it first. Register here:

Non Compliant Cue sheets:
One provided for each disk. It is a noncompliant, EAC-generated cue: tracks ripped as files, gaps
appended to previous. 
Recommend using it only with Exact Audio Copy or Burrrn as the burning software. Other software may
fail to recognize 
that format cue because of the noncompliant gap formats. If EAC does not support your CD-RW drive
for burning, 
you should be able to burn with Burrrn which also supports noncompliant cue sheets. You can get a
free copy here:
