With all due respect, you need to pull YOUR head out your behind.

HYMN does not have solid legal backing. It is only tacking the money away from the artists that give you the music you listen to. The government, the RIAA, the musicians... nobody is backing this, except for those who want to rip the musicians off.

By the way, 4.7 can burn any format to a CD... an unlimited number of times.

In regards to doing it without losing sound quality, anytime you output to some sort of lossy compression (like say the MP3 format that you mention) you lose sound quality. Your point is misguided anyway, as HYMN has nothing to do with CDs.

AND in regard to your fear of losing your data, iTunes will let your burn an Audio CD, an MP3 CD a data CD or a data DVD to give you assurance of always having your music, not losing it. Oh, and any purchased music that you may have accidentally deleted or whatever can be redownloaded by contacting iTMS support.

As far as spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt goes, I think you have failed. If you don't like iTunes, or Apple for that matter, you can always try Microsoft's store or Napster's or Walmart or Sony's Connect or Real Networks or eMusic or Disney's or Virgin or... well you get my point; People have a choice. Or you can always buy an actual music CD or DVD.

Or in your case you can continue using the Peer to peer networks to continue stealing from the artists.
