you're not giving anything away. you're using what is yours that you purchased. im glad apple doesnt limit how many times you can burn a cd. whew. i agree its not that tough but we can get a 2gb card on the 8800. so transfer 500+ songs, and how long will that take? 8 hours? burning 30 cd's sounds like fun, and then copying...just make sure you use mp3 format. oh, and for all that priveledge, you paid $500 on itunes. oh well....for another forum. good luck burning, copying, burning, copying...
