[QUOTE="ourhero, post: 279420, member: 23119"] Thanks for that, Jem and baggss. I'm starting to learn new and exciting Mac stuff already. So let me get this right - CD audio is called AIFF files on the Mac and that's the format I would keep to, in order to burn ordinary CDs? Great. Baggss, you said that Quicktime would be able to rip the soundtrack from a DVD. Would that let me edit the soundtrack to remove huge chunks of silence and dialogue? Or is it iTunes that would allow me to do this? Is it easy to use Quicktime to do this? You mentioned the DRM system of protection from download stores - are they obliged to tell users if such a system is compatible or not with Macs and can these things be converted to AIFF? My iMac is scheduled to arrive on 29th November. It's my first compter in 7 years and is a 17" screen with the 2.16Ghz intel duo processor, 2Gb RAM and big 500 Gb HDD. The only software I'll have is iLife 06 and iWork 06. Thanks again, folks! [/QUOTE]
