Burn them using iTunes as a Music CD, then copy the files? Is that really so hard? 😛

Can I just burn to the HD, or do I have to burn to a disc, and then copy from there to the HD?

So, I can burn them to a disc that will play in any cd player.
I think cda is the normal cd file isn't it?
I can't recall the red book specs off the top of my head.

Burn them using iTunes as a Music CD

That will work in any cd player that can read CD-R's. I'm confused as to why you want to do 3x the work to burn a music CD?
 
Regarding iTunes - I just want to convert everything I have to CD form on my hard drive.
Then if I want to make unlimited CD's, I can.
I can't think of a reason why, but I want to be able to work around the iTunes copy protection.
I have burned a couple of CD's for myself from my iTunes, and I think they limit it to I dunno ?3 maybe?
So, you know how burned CD?s are, you drop them in your car, people sit on them, etc?
So, I might burn the same song 3 times in a year, just for personal use.

iTunes copy protection only applies to tracks downloaded from the iTunes music store. If you rip the CD in iTunes, you should be able to burn music CDs from those tracks as many times as you like.

Freebird as in the song? Where are you downloading it from?
 
the only limitation itunes has with copy protected songs, is that you cant burn more then a couple cds of the same playlist i dont remember the exact limit, but it is around 3. all you have to do is change the playlist and you are good to go agian.
 
wouldn't it make more sense to store all your mp3 tracks on your hard disc as a backup? that way if you loose your ipod, you still have your music.

burning a CD just requires the right software. e.g., nero, or even itunes, will take your mp3 music files and convert them to wav format and squash them onto a CD.

it would be crazy to store your mp3 files in wav format, tho.

I don't think the OP wants to do that.

He just fears the limitations of # of burns on iTunes. And as stated, it only affects stuff that is DRM'd (ie, purchased from the iTunes store).... AND if you just reorder the playlist.. or make a new one, your limit is reset. There is no limitation to the number of times you can burn a DRM'd song, just a limit to the number of cds of the same playlist if it happens to contain a DRM'd song.
