Itunes/wmp Question

[NRV155]

If i download something from itunes store, does it come copyrighted? Can i play it through Media Player and burn it to cd with Nero or will it only work with itunes? I wanna get the hard to get tracks from itunes that i cant find torrents for but i like using WMP over itunes.

Oh, i dont currently have itunes and dont wanna download it if its not gonna work. Thats why im asking first.

Use LimeWire or something.. iTunes is shit and i think you can use programs to convert from iTunes but not 100% on that as i don't use it..

soulseek > limewire

[R31Nismoid]

limewire is good for one thing, viruses & malware.

Itunes downloads work in WMP - IF they are free.

If you pay for them im not sure, as i only download free podcasts off itunes, and they are in MP3 format and work fine in WMP

download in itunes ---> Burn to CD in itunes ---> Use NERO etc to rip CD to computer

I've heard this works *Shifty eyes*

[NRV155]

Im not using limewire or any other p2p program, i'd rather use torrents.

Nismoid, ill be paying for them, its only $10 for 2 albums. If no one has a definant answer then i might try what 89Cal said.

Edit: I just found this from apple- (You can not convert or play songs you purchased from the iTunes Music Store because of a lock Apple is forced to put on the files called "FairPlay".)

I just got both albums from CDBaby.com

Had to pay but really worth it. Downloaded as a zip file and sounds great. Unprotected too, so i can play it on anything.

No need to get iCrap now.

It was an independent artist which is why it was hard to get. They only sold on itunes or CDBaby.

Well at least you're not looking to be cheap LOL

mediamonkey. google it. removes need for itunes to manage your music on the iPood or iPoon.

I have done this before with something from iTunes, its not the easiest way to get around it but it does work....

haha only fags download FLACs

Soulseek again for more obscure artists / songs, and no spyware / trojans / fake files that plagues Limewire etc.

Funkeh, I'd thought there was some kind of alternative, does it require teh jailbreaking though?

nope... works on unjailbroken too. the guys at mediamonkey reverse engineered the ipod database structure, so they can index the files just like iTunes. Any program can write to an ipod/iphone, but only a couple can write the file AND make the database entries valid so that the device sees the files. there was a little downtime when apple changed the DB structure when they included ebooks (iOS3 to iOS4), but they sorted that out too. You can now upload videos, books and music using MediaMonkey.

sounds pretty sweet
