hi john, that's right on the CD settings. regarding backing up an itunes purchase or an entire library, I'd advise having a pen drive large enough or a small usb 2.5" hard drive as your backup for itunes. My own library is about 80GB in full audio quality and it's worth backing up. OK I don't buy from itunes. I prefer the CD route. the tactile pleasure of buying the CD, sticking it in your HIFI and chilling out is the way to go.
