Hurrah I did it! I tried Tim's steps below and they worked; I am now going to
try Colin's steps in a previous message.
One thing though: I see all my songs, I don't get a list of albums; so I have
to scroll through all my songs to find the album I want to burn. Surely that
can't be right?

OOOO my Huskies were ahead of the Koogers and now they are tied at 28! Wonder
if I can pay attention to learning more iTunes stuff and watching this darned
game! Go Huskies go!

Hi Marlaina,
To burn an album to CD, I would first create a playlist with the songs I wish
on the CD:
1. Search for the album name.
2. Check the songs it found, if OK then go to #3.
3. Press cmd-a for Select All.
4. Press cmd-shift-n to Create Playlist from Selection (also under the File
menu).
5. Name your playlist.
6. Go under the File menu and choose Burn Playlist to CD.
A dialog will apear where you can say whether you want it to be an audio CD,
mp3 CD or Data CD, how much gap to have between songs and whether to use
SoundCheck or not. Once all those choices have been made, press the Burn
button. It will then ask you to insert the proper kind of CD and the process
will begin.
If you wish your NetGear server to house your iTunes media then do the
following:
1. Make sure that your computer is always connected to the NetGear server.
2. Make sure that the media is in a single folder on that server.
3. Open iTunes.
4. Press cmd-comma to bring up the iTunes Preferences.
5. Select the Advanced tab in the ToolBar.
6. Press the Change button just after the iTunes Media location.
7. Press cmd-shift-c to bring up the list of attached devices.
8. Select the NetGear server and expand it using VO-backslash.
9. Locate the folder with all the music/media, select it then Stop Interacting
with the Table.
10. Press Choose and wait for iTunes to build the Library file.
That should do it. iTunes may re-organize the folder structure within the
media folder in the process but that shouldn't hurt anything. Now, as long as
you have access to the NetGear server and as long as you are connected to it
when you open iTunes, life should be good. As well, you should have your Apple
TV paired to your iTunes Library and then it can just stream all your media
from the computer to the TV. It will stream movies, TV shows, music and will
even use your iPhoto pictures as the screensaver while playing music if you
wish. This is a really nice feature for sighted people as it does a fantastic
job of flipping through the photos on your TV screen while listening to your
favourite music through the stereo.
HTH.

Ok, how do I do it then? Sorry, I am really really struggling with iTunes and
we just bought the apple tv and now I can't figure out how to tell iTunes to
use my netgear file server as the base for my library, and I can't figure out
how to burn albums to cd. I'm glad to know the latter can be done, but how do
I do it? When I'm in iTunes, I see individual song names and I see a checkbox
next to each which is checked. Any help with getting albums burned to CD and
getting iTunes to know that all my music resides on an in-home external file
server will be worth its weight in gold and a note to Santa from me on your
behalf, :)

Hi Marlaina,
Your husband is incorrect. Not that I like to contribute to the cause of
husbands being so often incorrect, but, he is in this case. When you burn
purchased audio to an audio CD, it will play just fine in any home or
automobile player. The only restriction is if you try to burn
purchased/protected content to an mp3 CD, that won't work.

Ok, that might sound like a stupid question, but as I was about to buy Susan
Boyle's The Gift, my husband Gary warned me that he did not think I could burn
an audio cd to play on a conventional cd player from an iTunes store music
purchase. He said he thinks it is protected music. I don't want to buy it if
I can't burn it for conventional use.
