Q: 1. Can I use this to burn music from my I-tunes onto a cd?

A: Sure, as long as you're using iTunes or some other CD burning utility. You place all the desired songs into a playlist. place a blank CD-R in the drive and then click the blue circle with the ... inside (next to Shuffle All ) and choose Burn Playlist to Disc . Obviously the playlist has to be less than the disc capacity, no more than 80 minutes, but my experience has been is that CD-R's eventually fail on many players if you use their full capacity, so I usually limit to no more than about 72 minutes.
