superb. thanks for that information. yes had these dualdiscs for quite a long time and it's only now i have decided to rip them to my itunes library. i have ordered the samsung dvd writer as mentioned, does that package include everything i need to get the music( cd only required) from the dualdisc into my itunes library and is it easy done? thanks again for your help guys, much appreciated.
The Samsung DVD writer comes with one USB cable. Just plug it into a USB 2.0 (or higher) port on your Mac. No drivers needed and this writer gets enough power from just one USB port.
The Samsung DVD writers (other brands are available) are a cheap alternative for broken DVD writers in older Macs or as an extra for Macs without optical drive.
If your Dualdisc can be read by the writer, hopefully iTunes will recognize the disc. I would set iTunes to import the disc as Apple Lossless files and set error correction on.
I'm not sure if the CD side of the Dualdisc will be in the Gracenote database, so maybe you have to name the tracks manually.
many thanks received the writer this morning and it worked with every dual disc i have first time with no problems, didn't have to manually name them either. thanks pal. best matt
