Now this answers the question I sent in the other day, but it brought forth a new question. Does it mean that all music I buy through iTunes are in AIFF non compressed and that when I make a new CD from my iTunes playlist, ( which I think I am allowed 5) will that CD then not play on any, some or all CDplayers? Or can I manipulate it by changing or setting the encding on mp3's? Marta On Jan 24, 2005, at 8:37, Henri Yandell wrote:
