[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 586643, member: 38864"] Well to see which songs have DRM, you can use iTunes to sort them by "Kind". If you don't have that as one of the sorting options up on that bar with artist, album, etc, just add it by right-clicking anywhere on that bar. The DRM-protected songs will be of the "kind" labeled something like "Protected AAC", with the extension .m4p. If you got the DRM-free version, it'll say "Purchased AAC". It's only the protected ones that you can't copy to the car unit. If you haven't yet, you can connect to the iTunes Music Store, click on the iTune Plus option, and it will tell you which of your protected songs, if any, are eligible to be upgraded to the DRM-free ones. Yeah.. there is another charge to do that... the labels want yet more money for DRM-free ones. There's no easy way I can think of to actually mass-copy only the usable ones to a thumb drive. You may have to settle for making a list and copying one at a time. Or just copy them all over and pick out the ones that the car unit won't play. [/QUOTE]
