I have had iTunes since it came out for Windows, but I haven’t bought anything from the iTunes Music Store yet. Now I want to, but I want to know for sure what I can and can’t do with the songs I buy. I know they have some sort of protection thing.
Can I put the songs on more than one computer? Both of my computers have the iTunes program.
Can I burn multiple discs from them, and change the formats?
What I like to do is burn a disc for my bathroom CD player (.cda format), and one disc in MP3 format for each of our vehicles (.mp3 format). I know how to do this, but I don’t know if it is allowed with purchased iTunes music, due to the copy protection they have.
Can I share across platforms - can my brother and I share, even though he’s got a Mac and I have a PC? We both use iTunes now, but haven’t shared with anybody.
Ok, I bought the album I wanted, and burned the disc in .cda format. Cool. Then I change preferences, and try to burn some .mp3 discs for my cars - it tells me that none of the songs in that playlist (purchased music) can be burned to disc. What gives?
It gives me a message saying it can’t convert protected music to MP3. My car players can play .cda, but for space reasons I prefer mp3. So I guess that means that music purchased from the Apple store can’t be played on my portable MP3 player?
I’m using iTunes to burn, but it will only burn purchased music into .cda, not .mp3. I’d like the format to be .mp3 for car players and portable (non-iPod) players. No go.
gotpasswords - yes, the CD audio disc burned fine, but I would have liked to burn a couple .mp3 discs for the cars. I guess that is the limitation of this service.
