The latest version of iTunes (I have 4.7) will not let you burn purchased music to a CD.

Bahstahds!

There is a project called HYMN (Hear Your Music Anywhere) that is working on a more permanant solution to the ongoing problem of balancing the rights of consumers and the recording industry. It allows you to change the format without losing sound quality (as with going from CD format and back to MP3) while mainting "signature" puchase and identity data.

They have solid legal backing and hopefully Apple will pull their heads out of their behinds, buy it and integrate it with a later version of iTunes.

I fear that will only occur after 17 layers of bureaucratic BS.

Until the needs of both sides can be met and agreed upon, people will build decription hacks and Apple will systematically quash them.

So sad, that I can't even backup my own purchased goods onto a format that won't implode when my PC does.
