iTunes, I kinda hate you...

[starrylizard]

So okay. I bought some music on iTunes. It plays on my iPod nicely. However, I want to back up said music to a CD.

When I hit burn on iTunes, I get two options: 1) burn as mp3 or 2) burn as data CD or DVD
If I choose option #1, I get a message that I can't burn as mp3, because the files aren't mp3s.

So, how do I convert the songs to mp3 in order to do that? Anyone? I was under the impression I could create a CD (from the music I bought) that would play on a CD player, not just a computer.

:(

Help me flisties. I want to kill iTunes... again.

EDIT: OKAY THAT WORKED! WOO! :)

It must've been during my hermit-ing weeks. *g* I do remember do you saying that you wouldn't get an ipod because everyone else it, but I'm glad you've given it a go and that you're liking it so far. If everyone likes something, it must be good right?

Convert to AAC should work!!!! I remember doing that for some of my music when I first got my ipod.

It now has a "create audio CD option" which has wither just appeared or I'm completely blind. Both very possible.

Yep, for the most part I'm liking it. I do wish I'd spent the extra money for more storage though. 32GB goes quickly on my music collection. :P
