DRM= Digital Rights Management. Originally, if you bought music from iTunes, it would have contained a type of DRM. This restricts where it can be played. Apple didn't want this, but originally the record companies forced it. Not that long ago, Apple made agreements with many record companies to stop using DRM, so many songs you can now buy from iTunes will not have this and should not be restricted where you can play it.
>From memory, if the song has an extension .m4p after the track name, it is protected with DRM and will not work on any non-Apple device, and even then only on a selected few. If the extension is .m4a, it is the same basic format but without DRM and has no such restrictions. If you ripped your music from a physical CD onto your computer via iTunes, it will be saved as .m4a as standard without DRM. I have no problems playing .m4a songs on my Boom, Radio and SB2. However, I don't actually own a Touch yet so I can't say if .m4a can play from TinySC, someone else will have to answer this. I am presuming you are wanting to use the TinySC on your Touch as the server because of you mentioning the Thumb Drive instead on using the full SBS application on your PC. -- Justme ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=369 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79571 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
