If you’re interested in Art work for your music: Click the “ iTunes” menu (in the top menubar) and select “ Preferences“, unless the window is still open from the previous paragraph.Ĭlick the “ Store” tab and check “ Automatically download album artwork” and click “ OK” when done. You will have to enable this option though if you’d like to have iTunes do this for your MP3’s. ITunes is very capable of retrieving artwork and other so called meta-data (title, artists, album name, pictures, etc). When done click “ OK” and “ OK” again (you can skip the second “OK” if you still want to set the Album Artwork option in the next paragraph). My default MP3 Settings Optionġ92 Kbps (choose higher for higher quality) Use a higher bitrate if you need a higher quality, or a lower bitrate (128 kbps or higher) if you need the files to become smaller. I typically use the displayed settings, which should be suitable for most cases. But when you do the pre-settings as described here, it will each time when you want to rip, start with the settings you do here – which can be a time saver.Ĭlick the “ iTunes” menu (in the top menubar) and select “ Preferences“. Preset your MP3 preferencesĭoing pre-settings for your MP3’s is optional – iTunes will ask for it when you’re ripping your Audio CD as well.
You can do some presets so you don’t have to do this each time you make MP3’s out of your Audio CD’s. Now you that you know what your responsibilities are in this matter … let’s continue … Ripping an Audio CD with iTunesįirst of all, we need iTunes, and for Mac users that’s not a problem – so let’s start iTunes.
Other countries, like The Netherlands, are more liberal when it comes to this – Consumers pay a few cents extra for empty media, and for personal use you are allowed to make a copy (see Stichting Thuiskopie). But it’s all a matter of interpretation – so think for yourself before you act! Fair use proponents however claim that the law leaves room for making a private backup (in the US: DMCA or Digital Millenium Copyright Act). The movie industry in general does not want you to copy a DVD for any reason.
