Hi Marlaina, To burn an album to CD, I would first create a playlist with the songs I wish on the CD:
1. Search for the album name. 2. Check the songs it found, if OK then go to #3. 3. Press cmd-a for Select All. 4. Press cmd-shift-n to Create Playlist from Selection (also under the File menu). 5. Name your playlist. 6. Go under the File menu and choose Burn Playlist to CD. A dialog will apear where you can say whether you want it to be an audio CD, mp3 CD or Data CD, how much gap to have between songs and whether to use SoundCheck or not. Once all those choices have been made, press the Burn button. It will then ask you to insert the proper kind of CD and the process will begin. If you wish your NetGear server to house your iTunes media then do the following: 1. Make sure that your computer is always connected to the NetGear server. 2. Make sure that the media is in a single folder on that server. 3. Open iTunes. 4. Press cmd-comma to bring up the iTunes Preferences. 5. Select the Advanced tab in the ToolBar. 6. Press the Change button just after the iTunes Media location. 7. Press cmd-shift-c to bring up the list of attached devices. 8. Select the NetGear server and expand it using VO-backslash. 9. Locate the folder with all the music/media, select it then Stop Interacting with the Table. 10. Press Choose and wait for iTunes to build the Library file. That should do it. iTunes may re-organize the folder structure within the media folder in the process but that shouldn't hurt anything. Now, as long as you have access to the NetGear server and as long as you are connected to it when you open iTunes, life should be good. As well, you should have your Apple TV paired to your iTunes Library and then it can just stream all your media from the computer to the TV. It will stream movies, TV shows, music and will even use your iPhoto pictures as the screensaver while playing music if you wish. This is a really nice feature for sighted people as it does a fantastic job of flipping through the photos on your TV screen while listening to your favourite music through the stereo. HTH. Later...
