Whilst perusing the webs I found this nice little gem, a Pithos clone that allows saving of each song as mp3 to disk (https://github.com/SicVolo/Pithosfly)
I set it up per the instructions on that page and can verify it works as suggested
Oh W O W!!!
This is the best version of Pithos yet. It has been one of those default VSIDO apps that I've come to realize I can't be without. Now it will be doubly so! The recording quality is outstanding. Everyone should try this!
