Here's the deal, Alan and me are doing a swap, and he's sending me a couple mp3 cd's so we can get the most amount of tracks per cd.

I've used iTunes for a year, burned tons of cd's no problemo. After reading Gene's advice I tried again click Advanced, Burning, click mp3 cd, try to burn the playlist (113 songs) and the warning prompt comes up "only files that are already in the MP3 format may be burned to a MP3 cd"

Usually I'm technically adept but I'm kinda scratching my head here. It seems like I'm being told to re-import the source material as MP3 not the default AAC.... no??

That would be a bitch. My library is up around 15 GB tons of from my own cd collection. But this is my first stab at a MP3 only cd
