[QUOTE="rcltrh, post: 283098, member: 15752"] Yes, if you bought them with iTunes then you have to use iTunes to play them if you just do a direct copy. iTunes doesnt care if it is the OSX or PC version, but the one you copy to will have to have internet access to check with the iTunes store to validate your ability to play them. You can only have 5 computers authenticated at a time, so if you sell or trash a computer, be sure to deauthorize it first. Now on the other hand, if you burn the songs to a cd using iTunes, you can them import them back in on another PC as a mp3, wav files, etc just like any store bought cd so long as you burned them to the cd in iTunes and didn't just copy the mp4 files using a cd burner program like Toast. Once you burn them off to a cd, you dont have to authorize the other computer to play them nor to rip them back off. If you use iTunes to rip though, be sure to change the Importing preferences to MP3 and not AAC which is what creates Mp4 copyrighted files. Hope this helps. edit also note that even if you have import preferences set to MP3, anything bought from the itunes store will come in as AAC, nothing you can do about it except burn them off then reimport them back in as MP3 tp rid them of the mp4 format.
