Hi What I want to do is copy a CD on to a play list on my i-Tunes and then send it to a friend. Manual says 'No' and Apple say 'Sure if you Buy this special application'. This is nuts, what are they control freaks? Has to be a way round this though? Any ideas out there. LOL

Open iTunes.

Step 2
Insert your audio CD into your computer.

Step 3
Click on the CD name in the Source list. (This shows a list of songs on that CD.)

Step 4
Uncheck any songs you don't want to import to iTunes.

Step 5
Click "Import CD."

Step 6
iTunes you will now copy the selected songs from the CD to your iTunes Library.

Step 7
Once all of the songs are imported, click "Eject Disc".

Look under File/Library you'll find export playlist.

Thanks so far so good but I'm getting stuck after 'export playlist'. Nothing (ie a MPEG or a file) seems to attach to an e-mail. I guess I'm doing something wrong?

Ok mate I've had a scrounge around and found these, I hope they help.

Hears 2 programs that will translate ITune playlists into m3u playlists. In any event, both are free programs. The more comprehensive- and slower, is called SyncTunes 2.0.rv2. It can be found at version tracker- using the url: <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27677>. This program will not only create a m3u playlist from your Itunes playlist- but will also translate your files into mp3 & acc files- and to different quality ranges- say from 256 kbps to 128 kbps. Very useful for me, since I have both MP3'S and acc files in my Itunes Library at highest quality- and needed them converted to less high quality recordings to my phone (a poor man's iphone Another, quicker method is to install the Itunes script- Export iTunes Playlist to M3U. Do not be fooled by the complicated instructions. If you simply install it into your Itunes script folder- restart Itunes- and then use the script menu item containing Export iTunes Playlist to M3U- it will simply dump an m3u file of the selected Itunes script into your documents folder. This Itunes script can be found at:
<http://homepage.mac.com/beryrinaldo/AudioTron/Export_Playlist_to_M3U/> Sorry this response is so long in coming- I just came across you question today. Hopefully this will help someone- if not you.

You have to put those two files into /Library/iTunes/Scripts

Works fine with iTunes 9.something and os 10.5.8

Have a look at this also.
