    Hi

    I have a number of CDs which I wish to burn to my laptop - (I may put these on an ipod later).
    1 How do I do this - is Apple i-tunes the most popular method?
    2 Can i download iTunes for free?
    3 A friend said that i-tunes really slows the speed of laptop is this true?

    Thanks in advance for any replies

    i dont like the itunes interface, i find it very slow and i find it very restrictive.

    When ripping cds I've always just used Windows Media Player set to MP3 rip. The only time it's ever been a problem is when the software misidentifies an album then the tracks will be tagged wrong. This happens to maybe one in fifty cds.
