how to copy an Audio-CD nowadays?
My task is to copy an Audio-CD with a language course on it. I tried to achieve this on my new Mac Book Pro, just with the software, that comes with it. Disk Utility does not seem to support exactly this, it leaves out especially the creation of an image of a CD-ROM. I would…

Looks like a very good time from Friday afternoon (“start of Shabbat”) to Saturday evening with João Gabriel. This time w/o my “significant other“, as she was playing a little wild on her computer and me this morning — needs a little time off, I guess. This way JG gets just his father’s full attention,…
