[QUOTE="baggss, post: 279400, member: 6762"] I can answer some of your questions: CD Audi shows up as AIFF tracks when a CD is opened on a Mac. I believe they actually ARE AIFF tracks and the .WAV is just how Windows handles them. You can rip Music CD tracks to MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV or Apple Lossless in iTunes. You can then burn them to a CD as CD Audio or as another format with iTunes. For DVD Audio, your best bet is to use Quicktime to extract the Audio, then iTunes to convert it and rip it to CD. The iPod itself will accept [url=http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html]Audio formats supported: AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3 and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF and WAV[/url] You can buy from iTunes or legal Music sites such as e-Music, Audio Lunch-box and others. Any site other than iTunes Music Store (ITMS) that adds Digital Rights Management (DRM) to their music will be incompatible with the iPod and likely with your Mac. Music Purchased from ITMS can be burned to CDs, I think a total of 3. Once they are on CD though, you can do whatever you want. E-Music music can be burned as often as you like. Hope this helps.
