iTunes 4 + External CD burner?

jeffyboy

Is anyone using this combo? I can't find a list of compatable burners on the new iTunes site (there was one on the iT3 one.)



I'm going to buy one of the LaCie ones from the Apple store if it will work.

Thanks, Macfly!



It seems like an issue that would be addressed somewhere on the 'net, but I couldn't find a thing. Maybe it should have been obvious, I guess.



I'm squeezing every last drop of use I can get from my Lime iMac!

Ditto with my grape iMac. I've purchased some music from ITMS and would like to burn a CD for in the car...



LaCie's website says their burner is compatible with iTunes 3 - but they say nothing about iTunes 4.



macfly - are you using the 48x or 52x model?

LaCie burners work dreamily with iTunes 4. I've got the 48x variety. Which leads to what could be a rather stupid question. Does iTunes or Mac for that matter support overburning? I just burnt a mix CD and I thought I had crammed too many songs into the playlist but iTunes happily burnt it. But when I hit Get Info on the CD it says it contains 748 MB of data! I didn't think this was possible. Someone please explain this for me.

I use TDK 80 min. 700 MB CD-R discs. Unfortunately, I can only burn them using MusicMatch on the wife's PC... until I purchase an external drive for my iMac.
