This package is designed to be burned to CD, and is arguably best heard on that old-fashioned medium. On an iPod, you lose all the many subtleties of the CD track design, like the clever fact that the album with bonus tracks is exactly 69 minutes long. But your MP3 player would have you believe that it's only 68:58, which is wrong. Additionally, Apple sucks.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SENSIBLE
The free program Burrrn! can burn this disc directly from the included loooong MP3 file and provided cue sheet (llama.cue). In order to legally CMA, let me just say that you install this program at your own risk and I take no responsibility for any consequences (but yo, it's cool and fine and all; Google it if you don't believe me). Simply install Burrrn! by running burrrn_package.exe, start it from the Start menu, press "Add" to load the MP3llama.cue file (NOT the WAVllama.cue file), and then press "Burrrn" to make a fresh disc.

If you are NON-SENSIBLE and want to use another CD burning program that can't burn straight from MP3-based .cue sheets (like Nero) to make the disc, here is one possible procedure.
(You do NOT need to do this if you follow the steps above. Other processes may work if you are familiar with the process of decoding MP3s to WAVs and/or burning from .cue sheets.)
1. Start the included copy of RazorLAME (in the razorlame115 folder).
2. Press "Add" and select the included llama.mp3.
3. Press "Decode." If asked, decode file to the same folder under the name llama.wav. Warning: this will create a 700MB .wav file on your hard drive. The .wav MUST be kept in the same folder as WAVllama.cue.
4. Using any old CD burning software that can read .cues (which is most of the good ones, anyway), open the WAVllama.cue file (NOT the MP3llama.cue) and burn the audio disc.
5. Delete the .wav (and the .mp3, too, if you want... hell, nuke it all, see if I care).

Congratulations! You now have a copy that will play on a CD player exactly like the original "factory-issue" disc, the only difference being that because it came from MP3, it doesn't sound quite as good. But I doubt you or I will ever notice. Well, I might. Depends on how drunk I am at the time.
