But I think they require a break-in period...

>>John, I don't know if this will help, but I've been copying cd's and converting my cd's to mp3's via Itunes
Pmbuko ;
Just remembered -- I was about to download ITunes a couple of months ago but I was told that it could *not* copy CDs. I aborted the download and went out to buy Easy DVD Copy instead. Maybe I didn't need to ;(
Just to confirm, are you running the iTunes SW on a PC ?
Thanks,
JB

That was untrue. It absolutely can copy CDs - Win or Mac version of the software does this (I have both, as we have PCs and Macs in our home).

Engine Joe, it is true that iTunes can copy the songs off CDs, but it's not as straighforward as a dedicated CD copier. Here's the process, more or less. - Change your import file format to AIFF or WAV. (You don't want to encode them as MP3s and lose quality.)
- Import the CD
- Create a playlist containing the newly imported tracks. Give it the same name as the CD
- Burn the tracks onto a new CD

True pm, it's basically a manual process (since this is what dedicatd CD copiers do behind the scenes anyway). But of course, it's also free.

Thanks Peter, you beat me to the proper reply. That's exactly how I handle copying CD's via Itunes.

Curtis,
I checked it out at their MacWorld booth last month. I was very impressed with the quality of the printing. The resolution is as good as the best laser printers. It IS a laser printer. (duh)
Then I asked the rep how long it takes the burner to create the high-res full disc image I was looking at. He told me about 40 minutes. !!!
I'm just not that patient.

OK, *that* level of "complex" I can deal with. Thanks, guys !!
