Does anyone have experience converting CAVS songs and adding them to your library? I'm pretty sure that I am going to bag the Laser Discs but if anyone knows of a fairly easy way to convert them I would love to hear it. Thanks all!

The cavs converter, converts them to mp3g. You should be able to just import that way after conversion.

As for laser disks, you'll need a TV card (internal or external) for your computer and connect your laser player to the card/computer and record each track that way. You won't be able to import them into the database yet but you can select them from the video tab at the top of the playlist screen.
