[QUOTE="mountaindreamlife, post: 1302463, member: 213975"] oldscribe - that's exactly how I did it the several tries I made when I couldn't get even 30 songs on the disc. All the songs I have are MP3, nothing is anything else, so that should make things a tad easier (in theory) Chas. But I've done the other steps you mentioned, except the compression thing - don't know where to find it to check it. If possible, I would like to burn directly from the portable hard drive if it can be done. I want to make the switch to Mac completely, but keep finding things that I just don't know how to do, or like this project, just can't seem to make it work as easily as I used to on PC. I know - it's not that PC is actually easier, it's the old "comfort zone" thing, the comfortable old pair of shoes you just can't throw out... Anyway, if you guys can walk me thru this in S.I.M.P.L.E. steps - I would sure appreciated it! Got a lot of miles yet to drive on this trip, and would like to have my long playing cd's. No, we don't actually want an ipod or any other device for the songs... Just the cd's - we're old school I guess. :Smirk: f1mac - if I have the mp3's on the portable, why would I need to put them into itunes only to drag them to the desktop? Could I somehow just go straight from the portable to the burning? [/QUOTE]
