Let It Rip

Sloth: a deadly sin, for sure. Yet so easy to indulge: grocery delivery, TiVo, drive-through laundry … Just last week Wash ‘n’ Wheels came by to shampoo little Fifi. Who can resist the downward spiral into slackerdom?

Now joining the ranks of enterprises hoping to make a buck off your lazy bum: RipDigital, an online service that converts your CD collection into an MP3 library. How it works: You choose a package (starting at a hundred CDs for $129). They send you the shipping materials. You send your CDs back. RipDigital converts them into MP3s on data DVDs organized by artist and album. They return your CD collection with your new MP3 library.

Hey, no one ever needs to know how truly good-for-nothing you are. Nor that you own the Miami Vice soundtrack.
