[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1014463"] Yes, but its not magic. You have to actually learn the programs you are using. Like with everything. Not odd. It's a permissions issue with the external drive. a) if its formatted NTFS, Macs can't write to that. So that's the answer to that mystery -- reformat it for Mac. b) if its already formatted for Mac, select the drive in Finder (single click), get info on it (command-i) and check the box at the bottom that says "ignore ownership on this drive." Issue solved above, so this question is moot. Again, LEARN ITUNES. Check the help file in iTunes for a step-by-step on how to burn music CDs. Finder burning is for data. Other programs can do this as well, such as Toast. I'm not familiar with Burn so I don't know if it does Audio CDs. You'll need to *learn the program that you are using* to determine if it can meet your needs. Taking a quick look at Burn's homepage, it seems like it can do Audio CDs, but perhaps in converting the files to AIFF (which it needs to do to make an Audio CD) you're running out of disk space, or the files you've chosen become too big for the disc's capacity? Macs need lots of "temp" room for operations like this. If you've got less than 10GB available (at a minimum) you're probably going to run into this problem a lot. iTunes. Unless you were born with the knowledge of how to use Nero et al, you had to learn them before you could effectively use them. It's no different for the Mac except that on the Mac it's a lot more intuitive for most people. In your case, you're going to need to un-learn the Windows mentality and get into the programs (check the help file, do some experiments) in order to learn them. [/QUOTE]
