I couldn't agree more with this statement. I've just heard rumors that physical
media is going away fairly soon, so am trying
to prepare myself a little bit at a time. Naturally, as long as CDs exist, I'll
buy them, especially for artists I already
own CDs for, but for less important stuff, I don't mind just having it
digitally. Thanks for the suggestions on how to back
stuff up, though. They're all extremely appreciated.

Subject: Re: Burning Itunes purchases to CD?
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.

Backing up your iTunes purchases is a matter of choice. In the beginning,
it's easier, but as you buy more tracks, it
becomes more and more intensive. Ideally, it is advised to use a blank CD for
backing up your purchases. I don't know if
this has changed where you can use an external HD. If you are using Time
Machine or some other method of backing up your
Mac, though, I don't see a reason to have to go throughout the trouble of
backing up your purchases.
In regards to burning the album for your mother, just create a playlist with
that album and there should be an option to
burn the playlist to disk. I have made several albums this way.

Hello, all. I've recently learned how to buy music from Itunes, and
now, it's way too easy. When I complete a purchase, it always advises
me to back it up, but I'm wondering how I would go about doing this.
Also, 1 of the albums I purchased was meant to be a present for my
mom, but since she doesn't have any kind of I device, I need to figure out how
to burn the songs to a CD. I have looked
through the itunes menus, and unless I'm missing something, which is entirely
possible, I can't find an option for burning to
CD. If anyone could explain methods for backing up itunes purchases, I would
really appreciate it.
I'm still old fashioned and prefer physical media when possible, but
on the other hand, I'm starting to see where downloading things can be
convenient too. Thanks in advance for your help,
and I hope that everyone is having a great day!
Missy
