No, it uses it's own ripping engine. It does import things to your itunes library for you if you want it to do that. Best, Erik Burggraaf Join me Wednesday, May 26th at CNIB Tech Aids fair in Toronto. I'll be at the assistive computing booth from 2 to 4 in the afternoon and circulating for th

Hi, Yes, iTunes can burn, but the original question is actually whether VLC can burn and rip CDs. The good thing about VLC is that it does not organize music into libraries, so it is very similar to Winamp in that case. VLC will simply take the files you select and play them, whereas iTunes tak
