You need permission from the copyright holder.  Even if you are not selling the DVDs, you are using the music for business purposes, to make money, so it is illegal to use it without permission.

Interesting question.\n\nFirst. If the music is copyrighted, and 99.9% of music is, you can't. I should say you shouldn't unless you want to be shut down.\n\nOther than that try Geocities.

You can't download music to a CD.  Music can be downloaded to your computer hard drive, and then played by any number of audio players....or burned to a CD for use elsewhere.

No you don't own the copyright to the songs. They still belong to the performer.\n\nYou do however have the right to make a copy to your PC, ipod etc. However, if you then give the CD away then you should get rid of the copy as well. \n\nthat is how the law now or soon will work in Australia. It is called format shifting and as long as you own the original you can have a copy of it somewhere else.\n\nso you can't buy a CD for a friend at Xmas, copy it for yourself and then give it away, you must own the CD.

Sure. The sound card is just use to play back audio through your PC. The CD-Burner on the otherhand, is connected to your IDE controller in your PC. So you can burn and listen on some other device, but you won't be able to listen on your computer.

Actually, it's not illegal if it's music that you paid for, or if it's music that came from your own CD collection.  It simply is not a function that is supported by Apple.\n\nThere are a number of third party software programs that will allow you to "rescue" your music from your ipod and put it back on your computer.  Do a google search on "transfer music ipod", and you should find the link you are looking for within the first page of results.  Good luck!

NEVER! LIMEWIRE IS ILLEGAL... KINDA.\n\nLime wire is not an illegal service, but using it (MOST OF THE TIME IS). When you buy a CD is says the norm copyright and everything, if you'd look into LimeWire, you'll find that getting anything wiht a copyright on the CD it came from is illegal.\nTHEREFORE, ANYTHING PEOPLE GOT FROM CDS TO ADD TO LIMEWIRE AND SHARE WITH OTHERS IS ILLEGAL. SO, UNLESS IT WAS A FREE DOWNLOAD FROM A BAND'S WEBSITE, WHICH MEANS YOU COULD JUST GO GET IT THERE, ITS ILLEGAL.\n\nPlus, you dont know who is sharing the music you get. Some one could put a populare song on limewire, but hide a virus in it, and millions of people that get it, will have viruses!\n\nIf you are smart you'll resist the temtation.

that's a fancy way of saying that the music license will not allow the file to be burned to CD.\n\nNow, if you were to analog record the music with a program like Wavepad and then burn it to CD, i guess there would be no way to stop you...\n\nremoving DRM from music is illegal.  creating unprotected recorded copies IS perfectly legal (so long as you actually own the music legally).

Proabably.  If their uploaded in such a way that people can download them, definitely.  If people can only stream them and not keep them, almost definitely.\n\nSorry.  When you bought those CDs, you bought a license to listen to them yourself, not to give the content avay to others.

Yes you can, but you will need a program that can burn mp3 music onto CD's for listening.  The easiest to use is Nero Burning Room.  It explains the step by step procedure in burning music into CD's

By this I assume you mean burn a CD that can not be copied.\n\nThere's not really any way to do this. The method in which CDs are writen is too well known. If you actualy managed to develop some way that a CD could not be copied, someone would manage to crack is in a matter of days.\n\nAlso, if you're talking about music CD's, there's no way to stop people from playing them. If you can play a music CD, it's a simple matter to route the output into the input and record the music into an mp3 file without the CD player knowing it's doing anything other than sending music to a pair of headphones.

You cannot unless there is a free video or song available.\n\nDownloading free music can lead to piracy and it is against the law.

I don't agree with the illegal downloading of any pirated software. I'm sure the government will now come and check your computer for free music and they will see all of the illegal burned CD's and then you will pay the price for your illegal activities.

The easiest way that I know of is to burn a CD with those songs on it, then import the CD into Music Match. I believe that everything else that you try will not work because license information will be attached to the file.
