One possible option is to remove DRM 'protection' with 3rd party tools such as JHymn or QTFairuse. Please note that this may have legal ramifications in some jurisdictions. The Rockbox developers and community will not assist in removing DRM or in using the resulting files. If you choose to do this you are on your own.

When an individual song or album or music video sells from an iTunes store, you get a fixed "pay rate," the same pay rate for all independent record labels. (Click for more information about the Fixed Pay Rate for music Permanent Download model). Remember, only iTunes can set the sale price, but no matter what they sell that song or album or music video for, you always get the current pay rate.

FotoMagico cannot include audio from songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store in an export movie, as Apple prohibits third party applications to access the sound data. We do sincerely hope that Apple eventually changes its DRM policies. You can use the songs when presenting the slideshow live in FotoMagico.

Xingtone does not see AAC / M4A files on the PC, although it does on the Mac. Xingtone does not work with files that are digital rights-protected (DRM) files, and this means that songs you purchased from the iTunes store will not work with Xingtone. On the PC, you will need to convert your AAC files into MP3. Your iTunes help files explain how to do this. On a PC, the program downloads as a .zip file to your desktop, so once you find xingtone.

Not in general. Those music files are protected by Digital Rights Managment (DRM) systems which are not supported in Linux. In the case of iTunes, you can burn the tracks to a CD and rip the CD in Lsongs. However, Lsongs has built-in support for the MP3tunes music store, which sells independent music without DRM. Lsongs directly supports the Creative Nomad and Dell Digital Jukebox line of players, except for the ones labelled "Plays For Sure". Yes. Lsongs supports the Apple iPod.

No. Out of the box, the iPod acts as a standard UMS device - meaning that without any special drivers you can plug your iPod into your PC's USB port and it appears as a hard drive. When iTunes transfers a music file to an iPod, it also adds an entry in the itunesdb database stored on the iPod. Apple's firmware in the iPod only looks for music in this database - which is why you can not normally copy music to an iPod without iTunes (or an equivalent third-party application).

You can create and sell records, as long as you maintain ownership of the master recording and composition. Your deal with us will not prohibit you from doing anything with YOUR music.

Yes, you can extract songs or sound tracks off of a DVD and play them using iTunes. To do this, make sure your preferences are set to extract audio into either AIFF or WAV file formats. Choose to extract audio only, choose "Separate Streams", and extract the songs or soundtracks you want. Then, just drag the extracted files onto the main window of iTunes and they will be automatically added to your music library. A similar procedure works for other media players like Windows Media.

While it isn't impossible there is nothing worked on to allow playback video on greyscale devices. For colour devices there is PluginMpegplayer.

No. You don't have to be selling the song on iTunes. You are welcome to use TuneCore Video even if you never use any of TuneCore's other services. However, your music video must conform to iTunes's specifications. Back to top

You can play it on your computer, or record it onto cassette tape. If you have CD recording hardware, you can even make your own custom CDs with all your favorite music.

When Microsoft updates Windows (usually most computers are set to do this automatically), it sometimes creates issues with the shortcut created by Window's Installer, which earlier versions of RockIt used for it's install. The Installer then thinks that RockIt isn't there anymore, when in fact, it is. The easiest way around this is to create a new desktop shortcut for RockIt, which will alleviate the problem.

You can listen to most common podcast file formats in iTunes, including MP3, AAC, WAV, and .M4B. BitTorrent and WMA are some podcast formats that are not supported.

If you haven't saved your songs with the appropriate extension or if you have chosen to hide the extension, FotoMagico can't sometimes identify these as audio files. Also, if your audio file name contains a period after the title number, this may lead to the same behaviour. Rename your audio files and/or attach the appropriate extension, i.e. ".mp3" or ".m4a".
