You can’t select or deselect, it’s an all for nothing thing. The part about this that bothers me is I download the song of the week, etc, it gets lumped into that mess too. 90% of those songs… kinda suck

I’m not amused about the fact that I do have to pay again for music I’ve already purchased. Well I guess I have to buy my movies again and again to: First VHS, then DVD, then BlueRay…what’s next?

Thanks for commenting back. I am glad that worked out, now everyone is the wiser thanks again for the update!

@Ricky

It really did! I only had about 10 tracks there were eligible. So that is all it took for those 10 tracks. Every other day or so, a few more pop up for me to download.

@Chad Garrett: Thanks, I think i’m going to try it later. It would seem if the songs are listed with a price, they “should” download… and it’s only $2.40 total anyway, so no biggie.

Or a shared network folder.

So, where am I going with this?

Well, as there is supposed to be no more than six degrees of separation between any two persons in the world, any song with my watermark on it would potentially reach the entire world in just six levels of legal copying.

Kind of makes the whole idea of watermarking the files to stop copying pretty useless…

I have not personally encountered this, but I am likely to in the future. I believe it will redownload the song, it is an all-or-nothing affair. If you decide to take the plunge, let us know!

@iPhone Boy No worries, Just one person pointed out that I did not mention the cost: $.30 per song $.60 per video. It works, but keep in mind two things: 1) You have to pay for it and 2) it does tag the file with your name and info. If you don’t share illegally, point #2 shouldn’t be a problem

I think I tried re-downloading them quite awhile back, but couldn’t.

I think the nation is in enough debt, let’s make sure they understand the implications before they get +$150 on their already unaffordable credit card eh?

That is right Josh! You can now play your iTunes+ music and videos on another computer. Hey, you can even play them on a Zune

What do you mean exactly by : “…a way to transfer music to another computer without buying a 3rd party program”? I’m not sure I understand your question right; to my knowledge you don’t need any 3rd party programs for that and, yes.. all your current music can be transferred to another computer.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, or simply just misunderstood the question ;o)

Now that itunes is going DRM Free, is there a way to transfer music to another computer without buying a 3rd party program? For instance, if you have loaded CD’s into itunes, shouldnt those be transferable along with the DRM Free music, being that you have already paid for the cd?

(Also, the amount varies by geography — it’s a bit more for those of us in Canada, for example).

TIPB I am quite honestly suprised and ashamed at your missing out on this rather important detail. 30% of the album cost, its hardly free now is it!

I think you have let yourself go on this one iphone blog. Are you secretly working for apple these days?

I agree, and disappointed that Apple does not outright tell the user their information is encoded into the file. My bet is that was one of the conditions to get the tracks DRM free

I still think that calling something that stores user information, in the form of the iTunes user’s email address, in the “DRM Free” file somewhat misleading, but that’s debatable. Digital Rights Management, by definition, seems to me as if it would be any technology that assists the digital media asset producer in tracking it’s use and right to be used in a given fashion. Hence, hiding an authorized user’s email in a digital media file via steganography, while possibly DRM-Lite, is still DRM. Seems kind of like a blatant lie to me, but then again, maybe I’m just off my rocker.
