The best way would be if there was a piece of software that would remove the DRM from the file, leaving you with an m4a instead of an m4p file... That would, alas, be illegal to discuss in the US and illegal to distribute since it would violate the DMCA to allow you to listen to music you paid for on devices you own... Isn't that dumb.... Of course, search engines may show something like that. Keeping it in the same format would be best because then you don't introduce artifacts from recompressing a lossy file. (think of the degradation when you photocopy a picture instead of using the negative for a new print). The Official ITMS way is to burn the song to a disc and then rerip it, however the reripping would be lossy unless you ripped to flac, but then you would be storing a lossy version as FLAC and getting none of the real benefits of compression with all the loss of sound... I do not believe this posts violates the DMCA... Best advice: advoid iTunes Music Store from now on: Amazon has a better selection, lower price and you can play tracks from Amazon on your car CD player, Zune, iPod, Squeezebox, etc. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44433 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
