Itunes and Zune

I posted before and found out in order to get music from Itunes to the Zune is burn a CD and rip it right?

Well, I tried that and its still not going. Maybe its because I never did burn a CD before and I don't know how. I read somewhere about Noteburner and I downloaded that but at the end of that it says "Please insert a blank CD" so im like wtf? I also tried to go into settings and put the Notebuner files into the "my music" folder.

I have roxio easy media creater and I tried to burn songs with that and when I put in the disc after it "burns" I click "open with zune" zune opens and none of the music comes on.

Am I doing something wrong?

Is the little disc icon on the zune player supose to like become black like the zune when its connceted or something because none of that happens.

On the Zune player there are songs that I purchased though Itunes and thats what I'm also confused about because if those songs got on my zune why didn't all?

BTW I have Windows XP incase that helps

Alot of questions I know but if anyone can help that would be great i'm new to the whole zune network and i'm used to Itunes so yea heh

Thanks!!

re: Itunes and Zune
The process of burning and re-ripping iTunes songs to get them over to the Zune will work...but make sure you burn an audio CD, not a data CD. 
The songs you purchased from iTunes that already show up in Zune were iTunes+  - meaning they don't have the iTunes DRM (file encryption and protection- that Zunes cannot decode.)  Those do not need to be burned and re-ripped.
The little disc icon in zune software indicates that the software has detected a CD in the drive.

iTunes now offers a service to upgrade all of you DRM'ed tracks for $0.30, and will also upgrade the audio quality as well: http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/zune-talk/38712-why-itunes-change-signals-good-news-zune.html#post354129

They've actually had that for awhile...although I don't know when they added the resolution upgrade.

re: Itunes and Zune

You don't need Roxio or Netburner.  The iTunes software will burn the CD's for you.

In iTunes, create a playlist of the songs you want to copy (Audio CD will hold about 74 minutes.) Once you have created the playlist, right click on it and select "burn playlist to CD".  A new window will appear with some options.  It defaults to an audio CD.  Insert a blank CD and burn away.  Once the disk is finished, copy the it using your Zune software. 

Hope that helps!
