dlewis23 Posted June 7, 2007 CID Share Posted June 7, 2007 Is it possible/Is there a way where I can convert my iTunes downloadable songs to an MP3 player? No you can not. Unless you get the DRM free songs, then they are just a straight MP3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb62787 Posted June 7, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 7, 2007 my co-worker was saying that if I burn the iTunes music to a CD then rip it in WMP then it "will" work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted June 7, 2007 CID Share Posted June 7, 2007 my co-worker was saying that if I burn the iTunes music to a CD then rip it in WMP then it "will" work That will not work, they still have the DRM. you will have to remove the DRM from the songs. There are tools around to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saygoodie Posted June 7, 2007 CID Share Posted June 7, 2007 when it's playing in the cd player can't you get a program to just record the streaming music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted June 7, 2007 CID Share Posted June 7, 2007 That will not work, they still have the DRM. you will have to remove the DRM from the songs. There are tools around to do that. Thats true if you burn them as a data disc, but if you burn them as an audio disc, using Itunes, you can rip them back as an MP3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted June 8, 2007 CID Share Posted June 8, 2007 I would think that burning them onto and audio disk the ripping that should work.. otherwise how would all of the older cd players be able to read the DRM the Apple has encoded the songs with?

resopalrabotnick Posted June 8, 2007 CID Share Posted June 8, 2007 but do the rights the song has (they can vary) allow you to burn it to cd? plus you would be doubling the loss. it's already compressed. then it gets burnt and recompressed.

ajb62787 Posted June 8, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 8, 2007 I have noticed that Apple have released a new service for iTunes called EMI Fairplay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairPlay_%28DRM%29 and it actually lets you purchase your music without the DRM on it for $1.29 per song or an upgrade charge for already purchased iTunes music for $0.30 more per song. The price is per song but I think they offer a upgrade fee for Albums at $2.50 more .. unsure on the exact price but what the heck at least Apple is doing something right for a change.

I have been burning songs from iTunes onto CD as audio tracks then ripping in WMP since iTunes came out. You're allowed to burn a song to CD like 10x before you can't burn it anymore. This method does work and you really don't get much quality loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to rub it in but heck Intel chips are in MACs now so thats a plus for those who like Intel and MAC just wonder when AMD will be in MACs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
