"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Has anyone joined Napster to Go? I am considering joining, however i wanted to hear others views before deciding.

Anyone know if you can create cds after dumping the songs from your mp3 to your computer?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I've joined it. Downloads are fast, its great but then you need a napster to go portable player.

Unless you use tunebite. It will capture the song as you play it and convert it from .wma to mp3 and you can play it on anything then.

Only bad part is you can only convert songs real time. So cue up 6 hours of music while you sleep and you have 6 hrs of mp3's in the morning.

I think it is cool though. I love it actually, because I like feeling legit now. I still use soulseek for other stuff and audiobooks.

I'm S.O.O.L because i have an IPOD and an old I-river which by the way isn't compatible.

I received the IPOD for Christmas and i must say it does have a lot of flaws. However, i will say i received the BOSE sound system for the IPOD and it rocks!

ITUNES SUCKS BY THE WAY!

You can still download songs and convert them without have to do it while there playing. There is a free program out there (I don't have the URL) that will convert .wma's to .mp3's, without you having to play through all the songs you dled. Your best bet to find it is to search google on how to convert .wma's to .mp3's

But Glutus, does it work on the protected WMA files from Napster to Go?

I will definitely check into this, but somehow they protect it in such a way you can't export it to a normal mp3 player. It has to be one of the 4 napster to go players or you have to use tunebite, or you just play them on your computer.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yes it can, I've done it a couple of times through promotions I recieved for Napster to go. It's been a while since I have used it however. I actually just found the folder for the program, it's called Zittware. The actual program it looks like is called CDMaster32. Although now that I remember more about it, if your only doing a small selection of songs the program you mentioned might be faster. This program would be better I believe if you had a large group songs.
