Good morning Mac Experts,
Firstly, apologies to Mods if this is wrong forum - please move as you see fit; didn't find anywhere else obvious, so here I am.
My query seems simple, yet I've not found a complete answer on any forum/internet page !
I have too much music on my g4 eMac and need to remove some to free-up disc space.
I've reasoned that burning selected tracks [not a playlist] from iTunes 9 to DVD-R is the cheapest storage option, not the most beautiful or 'techie', but the cheapest. It is all I need.
4 x 4.7 gb discs and I'll be there
I believe that I burn my selections [a mixture of mp3, AIFF and WAV] onto a DVD-R as data - the DVD's are only to store, not to play anywhere else on other devices. Effectively the DVD becomes a repository of the files until I want/need to re-import them in the future.
However, I'm not daft enough to erase all the master files in iTunes until I know that what I've got stored elsewhere is a perfect copy of the original currently held on the eMac.
Hopefully someone here has the answer, so, fingers crossed for confirmation that I can in fact export to DVD-R and store perfect copies of existing there for future use ?
I'm on OS X 10.4.11
Many thanks for all interest and input
