[QUOTE="baggss, post: 295743, member: 6762"] The answer to 1 - 4 is yes. They will take up the same amount of space on the CD. When you burn them to an Audio CD, you are converting them back to the CD Audio Format. You should be able to get about 128 MP3 files on a standard 650Mb CD when you burn an MP3 (data) CD. That assumes a bit rate of 128k to 160k or so. Also you should know that when you burn them from AAC to CD Audio there will be some loss of quality and there will be even more when you rip them back to MP3. How noticeable this will be will depend on you. I have never noticed it, but I know people who do notice. Either way, the quality of the Audio CD you rip from iTunes will be less than that of a purchased CD since the AAC quality, while good, is not a lossless format. [/QUOTE]
