More specifically: I cannot get AmaRok, Juk and NoAtun to play my I-Tunes purchased music.
Is there a workaround, besides burning the music to an audio disc and then ripping the tracks again into MP3 format? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
I already replied to a later comment (not by you) concerning the same thing you just mentioned above concerning the default ripping format. I investigated this while on my lunch break and found out the embarrassing (for me) truth. Thanks for the reply.
I didn't pay the attention that I should have to the ripping formats in the past because the default had not changed to AAC yet, so that's why I overlooked it.
You're exactly right on both accounts...I hunted around for the Import setting while on my lunch break. I can't believe I missed it.
Ditto for the music store...was just trying to avoid doing that as a last resort.
I'm definitely not trolling. Am I ignorant to what you referred to? Maybe.
I used to be able to pop a CD in I-Tunes, rip it, and be able to play the music in I-Tunes (through WinXP) and in my Linux players.
Something happened in one of the updates over the past year or so and, while following the same procedure, my ripped music only plays exclusively to I-Tunes...seems like it's ripped in the same format as purchased music.
I will be fair and say this: I did not pay attention to the format I ripped the music in. I never had to change it before, so I never really paid attention to it. I will take a closer look, though.
I'm an automation officer in the U.S. Army, and I know for a fact that we're full of Microsoft shills and contractors with Microsoft loyalties.
We don't employ Unix/Linux in an enterprise manner; the government sold its soul to Microsoft years ago. Unix is used on some Army tactical platforms, though.
Food for thought.
of Steve Jobs every day when I fire up AmaRok or Juk, and realize I can't listen to the 200+ songs I've purchased through I-Tunes because of his DRM practices. Let's not forget the 800+ songs I ripped from CD using I-Tunes (for Win XP).
I appreciate Steve's ability to think outside of the box and innovate (instead of follow), but I seriously think that he is a wanna-be Gates.
