Ok, I want to start downloading music through iTunes (I'm a johnny come lately). What is this crap about limiting the number of times you can burn the tracks you download?

Does this apply when you convert files from the AAC format to MP3 too? Is there encryption in the files to prevent them from being burned more than 7 times? Even after converting to MP3?

Has anyone tried using Comcast's Rhapsody software? I don't get how they limit your listening streams in the free software download. Can you listen to clips of a song after your free 25 listening streams are done?

Why? Do you want to steal songs?

As far as I understand it, it's playlists that can't be burned more than seven times in iTunes. I would assume that all one would need to do is make a brand new playlist after that.

Keep in mind that you can't convert protected AAC files to MP3 in iTunes, but there are other ways around that where the file is no longer protected.

Once you burn a itune song to a CD and utilize a program that's able to rip songs as mp3s off the cd you can then reburn as a mp3 or aiff as many times as you like. :)

That's exactly what I did with my Easy CD Creator software. Thanks for the help guys!

I'm loving iTunes.
