Subject: iTunes question

so obviously you can't download an album and then burn it 17 times for friends...

but can you download an album and then burn individual tracks multiple times to make multiple mixes?  or is each song only allowed to be burned once?  The answer to this question will affect whether or not I leave my warm cozy house and race to Best Buy to get a new album... 

thanks dudes.

I'm not so sure you can't. Only restriction I've seen is that you can't burn the same playlist more than seven times. Certainly there are ways around this...

Wait to hear from some of the more knowledgeable folks, though.

Burn the album once onto CD then rip the cd back into mp3's and then you can use those mp3's to burn as many cd's as you want.

The only problem with that is that it's losing quality when you do that. I'll look for a great artical I found on exactly this....

There you go. Keep all the quality and burn more than 7 times!

Enjoy

What about part B of possum's query? Is there any limit to how many time you can burn an individual track within multiple playlists?

No there is no limit. The only limit is on playlists

Probably because Apple really doesn't care. They allow unlimited number of ipods to download purchased songs from that computer and 5 computers to have purchased songs playable on them. They put in what was needed to make RIAA happy while still allowing users the have some flexability. (Or at least thats my opinion.)

Once it's on a CD there's nothing you can do to protect it.

There's a utility that you can use to convert the apple format to mp3's as well - only catch right now is that apparently it doesn't work with iTunes 6.0
