Another related question- if you have the 6 disc changer, will they read all 6 discs as MP3's? I assume they would but some aftermarket changers don't. Thanks

I can confirm that the 6 cd changer does not read MP3. I think in about 6 years, Porsche engineers will have heard of the new inventions of mp3 and digital players and somehow will start engineer a connector or player for the 911 in 2015. By then, the Lexus and BMW will have their fifth generation of sound systems installed.
Ok, just venting.

This is how I do it, and I am sure there are easier ways:
(1) I rip my audio CDs into my hard drive (I use Real Player) as MP3s.
(2) I burn my iTunes tracks onto a CD, then rip them back into my hard drive as MP3s.
(3) Then I make a CD with up to 120 MP3s. Try to use albums as folders on the CD--the PCM of the Porsche will recognize the folders.

They don't write the rules. The RIAA does.
I will let Nick explain why the DMCA is bad for you.
I strongly advise against installing illegal music cracking programs. First of all, they are almost all fakes. They're just trying to trick you into installing their trojans (even my pretty savvy little brother fell for it once ).
Second, the only one that was reputable does not work with iTunes version newer than 5. If you already upgraded to iTunes 6 or higher, you'd have to start from scratch. Downgrade, create a new account and lose all the songs you've legally purchased.
For the time being, the only legal way to convert a protected AAC to MP3 is to export to a CDRW then rerip to MP3. Inconvenient, indeed. This makes an iPod adapter a must in every car.
By the way, Apple never stood for freedom in computer land. They're much worse control freaks than Microsoft. They just happen to make a much better product, which is why my Windows PCs are gathering dust at home.

Gnil is right. You don't have to use iTunes to burn an MP3 CD. See at the end of the post on how to do it.
If you're starting from an audio CD, import it into your music library in iTunes. Make sure the format is 192 kb/s MP3 at least beforehand (see Preferences/Advanced/Import).
Do not use AAC because your CD player will not play it.
If you're not using iTunes, most music players handle importing from an audio CD. Just make sure you're using decent-quality MP3 or WMA.
While you're looking at the iTunes settings panel, look for the burning / CD writing tab in the Advanced section. Select "MP3 CD" instead of the default "Audio CD".
Then proceed just as though you were burning an audio CD from iTunes.
Burning MP3 files to a CD without iTunes:
On Windows XP:
Make a folder on the desktop. Copy the songs from the My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder. I suggest you copy all songs straight to the root of the folder, not in a subfolder like iTunes does (e.g. Song.mp3 instead of Artist/Album/Song.mp3)
Right-click on the icon of the folder and Burn it.
If using CD-burning software like Nero, you can create a DATA CD, drag and drop the files, hit Burn.
On Mac OS X:
Same thing. Create a burnable folder (or closest translation . My OS is not in English either ). Drag and drop from Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder.
Click Burn

Best way to do this is importing your CD's using the MP3 encoder at 192 kbps minimum.
You can set this in the iTunes settings (select "Preferences>Advanced>Importing").
In the settings "Preferences>Advanced>Burning" you can select "MP3 CD",
which will keep your songs as MP3's that your PCM will recognize.
Now create a new playlist, select songs until you have 700MB or 640MB and burn the CD.
Be sure to be connected to the internet when you import your songs from the CD,
iTunes will download all song and title info from the internet, which your PCM will recognize and display.
(these are instructions for the Macintosh version of iTunes 6, but I guess the PC version will be the same).

One more thing, on a slightly different note: when I start up iTunes, it seems to have 2 copies of every song I imported in the past. Anybody know why or how to fix this? (note: I haven't re-imported any albums or songs as MP3 files yet)

btw you can do folders but over time i found it annoying so i just rip alphabetically and in the track list mode in audio you can see all the songs and not worry about going thru all the folders but its all a matter of personal test....PSE sound deeper with every ride...now thats sweet music!!
