How do I back up a music cd?

Friends,

I bought a music cd and I want a backup. Using Jaguar, how do I make a backup?

PS Please be detailed in your instructions.

Well, this really depends on whether you want the MP3s of the CD tracks on your computer. If so, then:

1. Put CD in computer
2. Open iTunes
3. Open Preferences
4. Go to 'Importing' tab
5. Choose 'MP3 encoder' in 'Import Using' menu
6. Select quality of MP3 using 'Configuration' tool in 'Importing' tab
7. Close Preferences
8. Import CD
9. Wait (Twiddling thumbs optional)
10. Eject CD when done
11. Make playlist consisting of tracks of CD (remember to turn off track shuffle)
12. Open Preferences again
13. Go to 'Burning' tab
14. Click 'Audio CD' radio button (don't worry about the length of the gap between tracks)
15. Close Preferences
16. Select playlist of CD you created
17. Put in blank CD, choose format if needed
18. Click 'Burn CD' button in upper right corner of iTunes screen
19. Wait (Twiddling thumbs still optional)
20. Eject CD when done
21. Write name of CD on burned CD if necessary, using felt tip marker
22. Put CD in car CD player
23. Listen and enjoy

If you don't need or want the MP3 files on your computer, then just choose the AIFF encoder in step 5 and don't do step 6.

It's really not as complicated as it sounds; you just said you needed detailed instructions.
