Burning music to cd

[Stinky Pete]

So it turns out since the last time I did this, apple have put DRM protection on some tracks meaning making a mix CD is proving to be a pain in the arse (aka impossible).

This wouldn't normally bother me as CD's are pretty much dead to me. However, I need some for an upcoming wedding.

So NSC. how do YOU do it?

I have a Mac and have always used iTunes. What is my alternative, if any? Does every company put DRM protection on now?

Where did you buy your time machine from? Whilst we are at it, anyone know how to record top of the pops on to cassette?

 

[Stinky Pete]

Yes yes I know.

I went to a family function recently and was astounded that the DJ didnt have any cds or records he did it all on line but then I thought of my last pub that the juke box was similar with over 1m selections to chose from. Progression and technology my only beef being old fashioned was the DJ didnt chat just played the music. I then thought why couldnt you just hire some lights and then load an ipod with tunes and do the same why pay for a DJ.

1. Find the tracks you want
2. Download a .m4a (Or whatever format your music is in) to MP3 converter from t'internet
3. Convert your files to .Mp3's
4. Laugh as the copy protection should now be circumvented.

Failing that, theoretically you could just download the songs again from the internet. Seeing as you've already paid for them and all that..

It's the music industry and the recording artists fighting back. Interesting that they would do that since you are trying to steal their product at no cost to you.

Plug the laptop, iPad or even a phone into the sound system, far easier.

One of these beauties in front of your speakers, tell everyone to be quiet during 'processing' and BINGO....DRM free and crystal clear playlist.

How exactly am I trying to steal? Since all I'm trying to do is put tracks I've paid for onto a cd, I fail to understand your condescending point.

I do miss those clunky buttons and having to press record and play to record.

I think that, as of June this year, format changing became legal. So you're not breaking any laws by doing that.

Load onto a USB? I'm guessing you are using CDJ's?

The music industry fighting back, preventing people from being able to use the music they purchased as they wish...

They said that about vinyl.

Syncios works extremely well for me-just need to have i-tunes on your pc.
