Well, I've gotten it installed. I haven't gotten drivers for everything yet, though I can honestly say that aside from the eye-candy, there's nothing that this OS has to offer that I want. I could be quite content to stay on XP for another few years.

The best you could hope for would be to burn the music in audio cd format (with .CDA files as a result) and re-rip them, unless there's some program that I'm not aware of. Though depending upon how much music you have, that could be a might bit costly.
