Re: iTunes 4 and music store

Yes, they will play in most every CD player. iTunes converts them to standard audio files for CD.

"about how many 3 minute songs for each of the compression rates? If I choose a higher bit rate say AAC 160kbps, how many will fit on a cd-r?"

About 74 - 80 minutes (20 songs or so). iTunes converts them to standard audio files. You can burn a MP3 CD if you want, it will hold many more songs, but you cannot make an MP3 CD from AAC encoded songs from the Apple store. Only a normal audio CD.
