If you're using iTunes to manage your iPod playlist, it's easy. Just create a new playlist with the tracks you want to burn to CD. Then right-click the playlist and select ''Burn playlist to disc''.
I'm using Windows, I'm not sure if it is any different in the Mac version of iTunes.
Also I believe if you've purchased tracks from iTunes, you are able to re-download them at no cost. I am not sure about that though, I'd need someone to confrim...
Hope this helps!
I hope someone can help me with these two problems:
How can I burn the music I've purchased/downloaded to my Ipod mini to a CD?
This is frustrating as I've had to reload my Ipod a couple of times now and lost everything I bought.
Is there anyway to recover music that was purchased from ITunes, which has been deleted or lost from my library?
