Ah! Thanks. So, the question now becomes how to create a new playlist. I will play around with it a bit closer to Christmas and see what I can figure out. In the mean time, I am copying music to an external drive as I buy it. I haven't done the time machine thing in ages; my external drive runs snow leopard now, and my macbook itself runs Lion. So, I don't know if time machine is possible in that situation. Thanks for your help, though. It is extremely appreciated. Missy

Backing up your iTunes purchases is a matter of choice. In the beginning, it's easier, but as you buy more tracks, it becomes more and more intensive. Ideally, it is advised to use a blank CD for backing up your purchases. I don't know if this has changed where you can use an external HD. If you are using Time Machine or some other method of backing up your Mac, though, I don't see a reason to have to go throughout the trouble of backing up your purchases. In regards to burning the album for your mother, just create a playlist with that album and there should be an option to burn the playlist to disk. I have made several albums this way.

I have looked through the itunes menus, and unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible, I can't find an option for burning to CD. If anyone could explain methods for backing up itunes purchases, I would really appreciate it. > I'm still old fashioned and prefer physical media when possible, but > on the other hand, I'm starting to see where downloading things can be > convenient too.
