Upon further studying this, I find that ( at least in my iTunes) I can import in a number of different formats. I only know now mp3 and AIFF, but there are more choices in that menu, - will then iTunes change them all into the AIFF format or leave them as I imported them, and which format should I use to import? Now in burning it allows me mp3 or Audio CD. How should I go about burning? Audio CD ( it does not tell me a format here) or mp3 ? Considering I want to 1. make a back-up for myself or 2. make a copy for a friend? Marta On Jan 24, 2005, at 9:08, Marta Edie wrote:
