When ya really wanna rip an MP3

I have a stereo cassette player next to my computer downstairs.
A friend can bring me over a usb equipped turntable to rip a record track.
And I even have a wire to rip from the radio or my cell phone.
Now I've hit a new high. Or Low!
Songs I've heard 30 years ago, I found on youtube.
Now I hook the wire from my laptop to the ripping computer.
And IF the RIAA reads this, I'm prepared to pay a royalty competitive to
what I'd pay for a song on itunes or whadever!
I'd buy the CD or vinyl if you'd get the label to reissue!
