I might be able to help but I also will need to have a better idea of
what you're trying to accomplish. Are you trying to make a single disk
file that somebody could use to burn another copy of the whole CD
verbatim? I think Disk Utility will do that.

Sorry, in the instructions I gave that's "copy the folder with
Command-C and paste it into your Dropbox with Command-V". And maybe
Chris Blouch or someone else can give a better answer to this question.

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. Cheers,
Esther

Hi, Esther:
I want to copy the entire cd, not have individual tracks. When I
pasted the cd into drop box, I saw individual tracks, not an album.

Hello Kerri,
I'm not sure what you want to do here, but if you want to make copies
of all your imported CD tracks from iTunes, select one of the tracks,
then press Command-Shift-R, which should show the location of that
track in a Finder window under the folder for its album. Press Command-
A to select all, the Command-C to copy. Then navigate to the folder
you want to put your tracks into and paste with Command-V. For
example, if I want to put these into a folder on my Desktop named "My
Great Music", I could move to the Desktop with Command-Shift-D. Create
a new folder there with Command-Shift-N and type in the name "My Great
Music". Then I could move into the folder with Command-Down arrow and
paste in the tracks I had copied with Command-V.
You would still need to move aback into iTunes with Command-Tab and
delete the tracks there, because iTunes keeps its own database, and
simply deleting the tracks using Finder only leaves behind broken
links.
Ray is correct that if you don't want to organize your music in
iTunes, and don't care about being able to sync it to an iPhone or
other Apple device, you should probably use third party software like
Mac by sbooth to rip your CDs.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

hello, all. I recently import a cd but don't want it in the
library. how do I copy the entire cd? When I went to it and did
command c, individual tracks were copied, not the whole cd.
Thanks and have a great day.
