[muglo] Re: More burning questions

Also, if you have more songs in your playlist then will fit on the CD,
iTunes is smart enough that it will alert you that you do. It will then ask
you if you want to do that; if yes will prompt you to put another CD-R in
when the first one is finished.
I do this sometimes to fill out a CD-R (ie - putting the max amount of songs
on so as not 'waste space').
