Playing with iTunes

So it took me thirty minutes to figure out how to open the CD tray on this iMac last night. Sue me; my brother's got the Microsoft Natural Keyboard, so there's no eject button. Anyway, I finally figured that iTunes would have an eject key, and I was correct.

I opened it today and stuck in Scarlet's Walk. It began automatically playing. "Cool," I thought. Then I figured I'd test the ease of Apple's "Rip Mix Burn" ads (though I haven't seen them around lately). It took a fifteen second reference of the help files to discover that all I had to do was hit the import button at the top of the iTunes window.

Bingo. One click, and the CD was automatically ripped and added to iTunes' library. Not only that, but I could listen to the music as it ripped.

I am absolutely hooked on the Mac lifestyle. My next computer, as I've stated several times before, will be an Apple. This is amazing.
