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. Laws, when it comes to copying Copyrighted materials, differ from country to country. It is your responsibility to be aware of these laws and comply to them. See also our Disclaimer!
