Re: iTunes De-authorize issue on a G5

2010-10-18 Thread Kris Tilford
When you have a DRM track the first thing to do is create a non-DRM  
duplicate, then trash the original DRM file and never worry about  
authorization again. It's your music, who are they to authorize  
anything?

Forgive me here, but exactly how do I do this? Jeff

The zeroeth thing to do is never buy content with Digital Restriction  
Management in the first place.


I don't even have an iTunes account.  Periodically I buy and rip CDs.

Create a playlist with the tracks you want to convert.  Burn the playlist to
a CD.  Then delete the tracks and re-import the CD.

The resulting tracks will be free of DRM, but will be lower in quality than
the originals, since you're putting them through a lossy codec to re-import
thm.  Whether or not the difference in quality is acceptable or even
noticeable is a personal matter.   I find it acceptable for mobile
listening, not so when listening on a decent pair of speakers.  Then again,
I feel the same way about the original iTunes files.  YMMV.

Well, that's the reason why, when I buy digital music, I do it mostly
at Amazon. But that may change in the future, if they do with music
the same thing they're already doing with ebooks and movies...
