Thanks very much for the very useful suggestions and link. I will try them.
With regard to burning or not burning the iTunes sourced file, I dont fully understand the situation. I was under the impression that iTunes delivers the file in a special Apple-designed format, which is intentionally made incompatible with other formats so that it should not be possible to convert the file to a common music format by software. I thought that is the reason for the CD-burning suggestion, as when it is burned it is in a CD-playable common format. Am I wrong about that?
