Use iTunes. Create a new playlist, drag in the songs you want and click burn.

yeah, but w/in itunes prefs make sure under CD Burning you select 'MP3 CD' or else you'll be stuck with a regular audio cd.

oh, gotcha. so at least now you have the info to do it both ways. lots of newer cd players will play an mp3 cd (just check to make sure it says so), including car stereo players (usu. 3rd-party decks, not factory). mp3 discs are so great b/c you can stuff tons of music on them--far more than 80 minutes. Several times that.

It's about 12 hours of music per 800MB CDR... That's about enough for any long drive...

I went into a stereo shop (VideoPro for fellow Down-underers) and was asking about the MP3 capabilities of a DVD-VCR combo they had their and the guy said he had no idea about MP3s and didn't want to know about them and went totally audiophile on me. Gimme 12 hours on a CD anyday! (Won't be going back to that shop)

MP3 are great, but the sound quality is not as good as the original CD, since it is compress. Is that true?

It is true, just encode / download 192 kbps mp3's and you'll barely notice a difference.


They laughed at my Mac, it had no CLI. They laughed at Linux, it had no GUI. I installed MacOS X, and shut them up.

That's true but... I never notice because my MP3s are
(a) being played over crap speakers/headphones that would make regular CDs sound crap
(b) being played low as background noise
(c) being played LOUD as background noise and I don't notice :-)

Rip at 160 kbps or 192 kbps and you'll never notice.

Remember when CDs came out all of the snooty audiophiles dismissed them as 'not being warm enough'. Wine 'experts' and audiophiles, shoot the lot of 'em I say. Let the rest of us get on with drinking and dancing!
