[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1949151, member: 234411"] [B]@ Hunter [/B]- when you open the CD in Finder, the 'files' (would be in WAV audio format on a CD, i.e. about 10 MB/minute of music) can certainly be dragged to your Mini's SSD or to an external drive but copied in Apple's lossless format, AIFF which is the same size as WAV - in other words and depending on 'how many' discs you want to archive, this could be a long and tedious process. Of course, you could pick a file format that would be quicker, such as lossless FLAC (not that much faster) or 'lossy' MP3 (about a MB/minute for standard quality) but you would need to search for CD ripping software (maybe free or at a price?).
