Subtitles of the Movie

iTunes allows you to burn both CDs for playback on a CD player, which is great when you want to bring a collection and play it in your car just in case you don't have an iPod, or burn a DVD when you when to archive whole parts of your collection. Now, a DVD is going to hold a considerable amount more than a regular old CD. So we want to really use a DVD for storage and I say this because when you buy music from the iTunes Store and let's say your computer crashes. A meteorite crashes into your house. There is no way to go back to iTunes and find that list and just, you know, re-download everything and I just made that word up. So what you have to do is have some way to put that collection back together and I really wish that iTunes would have the option so that there's a record of your purchases on some database or you do have some kind of incident, you can just find it and download it again and your playlist is rebuilt. So Steve Jobs, if you're listening, hook us up. Thank you. Now, let's talk about how to burn a regular old CD. So I'm going to choose a playlist. I'll choose, let's see, Alicia Keyes and all I can do really is get a CD and click this button right here on the bottom. This is burn disk. Now, before I do that, I see that I have ten songs, it's 38.4 minutes of play time and 46.9 megabytes. So I know that ten songs are going to fit on a CD. One thing about a CD, you're not going to put like 50 songs on there guys. You have to think about it this way. The CD that you burn has to be kind of a like a CD you buy from a store. How many songs are on those CDs on average? Eleven, 15, 17, so you're really not going to get 65 songs on a CD. So keep that in mind. So click burn disk and then your disk drive will open, you'll receive this message, please insert a blank disk and you do so. You will be told to burn and then that's it. I'll go ahead and cancel that for now. Now let's talk about how to archive this stuff. Let's go to the iTunes preferences and go to the advanced tab here and then choose burning. Now, be default, because iTunes is expecting you to want to burn CDs on a CD player, it's going to give you the name of your CD burner and it my case I have a super drive, which burns CDs and DVDs. You can choose a preferred speed and it's going to be on audio CD by default and it's going to put a two-second gap in between each song. Now, what we want to do is burn a, an archive, so we have to enable data CD. Now, these may not play in a CD player, so keep that in mind. As I mentioned before, most of the time we do this, it's to back up your collection. So once you do that, you're going to pretty much follow the rest of the rules and you're going to click burn data disk this time. You see, the words have changed so you're going to burn a data disk. Once again, it's going to tell you to insert that disk and then follow the instructions from there and you'll have a backup disk of your collection. Now, keep in mind, even though CDs and DVDs are always advancing and changing in technology and storage capacity, you might have to insert multiple disks to copy a massive library. So be aware of that in advance. You're not going to get everything in one fell swoop chances are. So once again, a CD is for playing on a CD player and a DVD is really a good way to back up a collection.
