Hi Kerri, I'll try this again, since my earlier reply did not go through. I'm not sure what you mean by the "entire CD" as opposed to all the music tracks. If you want to copy a folder with the name of the album, just add one step to my previous instructions: select a track from the album, press command-shift-R to show the track in Finder, then (this is the added step) press Command-Up Arrow to move up a level to the folder that contains the tracks. This will be have the name of the album. Copy this folder with Command-V and paste it into your Dropbox with Command-V.
If you mean that you want the entire CD contents as a single joined, imported track, there's also a way to do that in iTunes via the advanced menu, If you mean that you want an image if the CD that can be copied and burned with a CD copy on another machine for distribution to other people, you'll have to ask someone else. The only such CDs I've done of ISO images has been of public distribution software releases, and that is done from the command line. I guess I don't know what you mean by copying the entire CD, not have individual tracks. The method I outlined will let you copy and paste a single folder with the name of the album, but it will still contain individual tracks of music. If you want to import everything as a joined, single track, after you insert the CD, and focus is on the CD in the iTunes sidebar, assuming that you have first changed this to classic view by pressing command-option-s so that the sidebar is visible when the CD is inserted, press Command-I to get info on the CD tracks. Select all with Coomand-A. Then move to the Advanced menu of the ITunes menu bar (Control-F2, press "a.", and arrow down to select "Join CD Tracks" and return. Then import the CD. This is from memory, so someone else may be able to help you. If this is not what you want, please write back in more detail. it sounds as though whatever you put over, you do not want there to be any individual tracks, even within an album folder. HTH.
