I am using an external CD/DVD re-writer to burn my cd's onto my hard drive, and then onto iTunes. However they are taking up a ,lot of hard drive space and i don't think a typical song should be using 40-50 mb!!!! Can anyone please help???
It's likely you are ripping them as .wav files, Apple Loseless files, or AIFF files, all of which are ridiculously large..

You can rip high quality VBR mp3's and then subsequently import into iTunes.. More information can be found here; http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/mydeneaclame.cfm
