NWP, I totally agree. Why anyone would purchase music from iTMS is
beyond me - in the UK each 'tune' is 79p and thus an album is around
£10!! This is for a lossy 128kbps encrypted file that generally has
no sleeve notes or lyrics and can only be played back on certain
equipment. As a long term
I have bought a grand total of ONE song via Itunes 6. I was really
angered that I couldn't play it on either Squeezebox 3 or Winamp 2.8
The way I got it to play on SB3 was via a brute force method - First
I made Itunes burn it to CD. Then I used EAC/FLAC to make a FLAC file
from the CD. Now

VERY good to know! Thanks. I *was* worried about converting new CDs
into FLAC for use with SB3, - but guess it's not an issue.

This also depends on the drive used i think. I know my older Plextor
writer had problems with some albums (The Beatles - Let it Be... Naked
was one) but the Plexwriter Premium i got handles anything i give it.

I have a friend who wants to play songs she bought from the iTunes
Store. I know about Jhymn, but she has iTunes version 6, and Jhymn
doesn't work on it.
I still have iTunes version 5 and Jhymn on my iBook. Is there any way
I can transfer her songs into my iTunes
^^^ What if she downloaded most of the songs when she still had iTunes
5?
Is it the case that once you upgrade to iTunes 6, ALL the songs in your
library get re-encrypted by the new version?

it was my understanding that itunes 6x added some new key to the
encryption on all songs when it was first started. you are correct in
that that hymn faq suggests otherwise.
Of course, the easiest way to find out is to give it a go... of course,
back up those songs!!
