[QUOTE="SG123, post: 1014264, member: 146861"] A couple of months ago, as my 7 yr old PC was getting a bit sluggish, and rather than fork out more cash on maintenance thought I'd treat myself to a Mac. As the main use for my computing is music and mixes, I thought I'd made the right choice. Have I? I'm encountering a few problems and I desperately need help, so please contribute if you can. 1) With over 1 TB of music I decided to buy an external Hard Drive to store my music, any music I download now goes straight onto the Mac. My Itunes will not let me update/rename any of my files on the external (via get info) but will for any of the new songs on my mac. Odd.. 2) never mind, because I can simply burn a CD from Itunes then re-rip the CD back to my Mac? Is there software that will do this and let me rename tracks/album title etc that isn't Itunes? 3) Each week from a receive from a friend a dvd data disc full of all the weeks new release albums. None of these are tagged (they simply say Tk1 Tk2 etc) Yesterday I dragged which albums I wanted on to my Mac inserted a blank disc and clicked the burn icon on the top right hand corner. After burning a few I realised I these weren't audio discs but data discs. I tried to find how to change this but am at a loss. So how can I do something as simple as burn an audio disc without having to import everything I want into Itunes? Well I went online and downloaded a programme called 'Burn'. Very simple but I just needed it to be effective. However this keeps saying 'not enough space' everytime I hit burn - even when there's only 1hr 10mins on the display. Very frustrating. So simply can anyone suggest any programmes (free if possible) that can do all these simple things on my Mac. As an ex PC user who swore by Nero, Media Monkey and Easy CD Extractor I'm wondering whether I should have stepped in to the unknown? PLEASE HELP!! [/QUOTE]
