At work, you have your computer, and a finer organizer of music has yet to be invented. We'll take iTunes on either Mac or Windows any day of the week for its organizational skills, but Real Player 10 and Windows Media Player 9 also have their charms. Assuming your tracks came from somewhere other than your office PC, you have the option of copying those tracks from CD-R to the computer's music folder.
By now, your work computer probably even has a DVD-ROM drive. If so, and if you have access to a DVD-recordable drive, you may even want to burn a DVD-R disc full of songs to take to the office. While a DVD-R loaded with MP3s still can't play in home or car DVD players, it will play in pretty much any computer that has a DVD-ROM drive.
We haven't discussed sound quality in the home or car — it can get so
complicated we'd like to table it for another time. In the office, however, sound
quality is simple: Logitech's Z-3 desktop stereo speakers with subwoofer ($99.95)
sound better than anything else we've heard in the under-$100 price range.
And they're nice looking. The only puzzler is how to get your company's IT
department to pay for them.
