Question about itunes

*sodjer6* · 04-14-2008, 01:41 PM

I searched around on the itunes support site and they never really answer my question. I have never used itunes before but I need a place to get some new music and they have an album I want that isn't available anywhere else. When you purchase music can you play it anywhere and put it on any device? Or is it only playable in itunes and the only mobile device you can put it on is an ipod(I have a sansa mp3 player)?

I just don't want to buy a bunch of music I can't do anything with.

You can buy some songs from them without copy protection and at a higher bit rate for a little extra. Or you can burn it to a cd, and then re encode the cd back to aac or mp3 and do anything you want with it.

Yup, even if its a DRM file, you can bypass that by burning it to a cd. You would then have to pull it back into the computer the same as you would with any other cd.
