Hi Sam,

I wondered the same thing when I first switched to OS X. I quickly 
realized that the functionality is built into the CD driver now. So 
just double click the CD icon and drag the tracks to your desktop or 
hard drive; and they will be extracted there.

One thing though; check the permissions on the newly created files 
after you do this. I'm not sure how the permissions are "governed" with 
this new functionality. I have found that sometimes I need to set them 
myself and sometimes I don't. And I haven't quite figured out the cause 
and effect that determines which specific circumstances warrant going 
in and setting them manually. Maybe it's got to do with which drive I 
extract them to; I'm not certain.

And if you extract a bunch into a specific folder; you can of course 
change the permissions for all the files at once by selecting the 
folder icon and doing it from there, and clicking the option that 
applies the permissions to all of the folder's contents.
