Yesterday I began listening to the hemi-sync presets. I have some general questions that I guess most starters have so I hope this topic would be useful for more people. Sincere apologies if the same questions are already present in the forum and for being lazy not digging through old posts.

1. Can I convert the CDs to mp3 and use an mp3 player?
2. What should be the volume level?
3. Can I listen to the presets before I go to sleep?
4. What should I focus on while I'm listening? Should I focus on
- the sound?
- breath?
- my thoughts?
- anything at all?
5. Should I try to fall asleep but yet to remain aware?
6. Should I attempt an exit technique?

Thanks!
