Noob needs CD copying help

[quad]

Right folks

Got a combo drive in my month old iBook 12", with Tiger. I tried copying an audio CD using disk utility, by creating the DMG file, and using Burn Image (or somehting like that). The result was a CD that had what looked like AIFF files on a Mac format disk. Certainly wasn't audio format. Individual files could be played in iTunes, but not in a CD player.

Is this the right way? A couple of how-to docs and Mac Help suggested this method. Surely I don't need to buy Toast or resort to the command line? Any nice free tools that do this, if OS X can't? My forum search found nothing.

Otherwise I'll be back to Nero on XP!

TIA

Why not just import the songs into iTunes and burn from there?

If the songs are in iTunes, make a playlist that includes those songs, select the playlist, and click on the burn icon

Thanks for the Tip. iTunes will do this, good feature.

But I guess then the Disk utility can't copy audio? And the iTunes method won't duplicate extra CD features such as CD-Text, and hybrid cd's with videos.

Sounds like I'll have to stick to XP+Nero when I'm at home, and iTunes when away.
