I guess you can record music from a CD into wav format using one of
Creative's apps. If you have a sound blaster card when you should have
something like Wave Studio but converting a song into wav format will take
heaps of disk space of course depending on the sampling rate and bits.

You can use a graphic editing program like maybe LviewPro or Paint Shop
Pro and convert your pics in bmp format. Then resize them into (sorry.. i
can't remember the dimensions correctly.. maybe somebody else can help you
with that) i think 300 x 400 or something. Then just rename them to
logo.sys and the other sys files.
