Okay....I'm still a noob, so please excuse my ignorance. hehe I wanted to finally burn an Audio CD to play in my car (done it many times on my PC with Nero, Music Match, etc. So I'm not THAT much of a noob), but anyway...I copied some tracks over from a CD...and they are AIFF files. Well...I tried just copying them to a blank CD, and burning them...but never saw a specification come up saying these were for an Audio CD. It finished...but it will not play in my car. And I tried 2 different medias. It comes up as a single track (there's 14 on it), and has no sound. So I'm figuring....some where along the line these files need to be converted...but how. Do I need to have a 3rd party program to do it...I would hope not with OS X.

Thanks for the help....

First of all, don't try copying songs in the Finder. Just use iTunes. In iTunes, create a new playlist and drag the songs you want from your library or directly from the inserted CD to the new playlist. Open up the iTunes preferences, click Burning, and select audio CD. Then, click "Burn Disk" in the upper right hand corner of the window. Insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW and you're golden! Not hard at all!
