The new program, the first of its kind, is part of a partnership with Ready To Play, the premier company specializing in the conversion of audio CDs to digital format and loading MP3 players. The service will be available at Cambridge SoundWorks' retail locations in New England and the San Francisco Bay area, and nationally via <a href="http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com">Cambridgesoundworks</a>. Customers can bring their CD collection to any Cambridge SoundWorks' retail location. CDs will be shipped to Ready To Play, who has a team of specialists who professionally and quickly convert music collections to digital formats."</i><br /><br />Customers can choose to have their digitized music loaded directly onto an MP3 player or onto a DVD. The price of the service is $1.10 per CD and I think that price is the best part about this whole service. The just-over-$1 cost makes it quite affordable. Although I am not quite so sure whether this is a first of its kind offering since I remember posting on a similar service several months ago (can't remember what it is now).
