Copy-Protected, or "One of these days, I will get an iPod"

[jocelyncee]

The music business is putting locks on its doors.

Realizing full well that I am probably way behind here, I recently tried to record a CD of music that I had downloaded from iTunes. Seeing as how iTunes recommended that I back up this music, I thought, "surely this should work."

Famous last words.

Good thing I found a converting program. Now I can actually LISTEN to the music I download without dragging my computer with me. My car will be full of lucious melodies when I actually get home to drive it. For the meantime, the soundtrack to my life will continue, uninterrupted via the piece-of-junk discman I still carry around.

I can make recordings of files that I've imported from CDs that I own... that wasn't a problem. It wouldn't let me make a CD of music I'd downloaded.

Although, come to think of it, I've made a CD of Ben Folds Five, and I downloaded that from iTunes too...I wonder what's going on there...

Anyway, 179 of 192 files were converted. Yay! chances are I can make those CDs now.
