I just realised that one of the new “features” of the new version of iTunes is that it no longer will rip your CD’s to MP3 format. Yikes. I will admit that buying physical media is starting to seem a little old fashioned but apparently Apple is ready to banish it to the same fate of Vinyl already. Fortunately for the resourceful there are ways to get around this silliness – check into Exact Audio Copy and LAME – but for the masses this means your physical media has all gone offline permanently.
