WTF, are you trying to burn .ogg or FLAC? iTunes will burn plain MP3's, Apple Lossless, AAC, and Protected AAC music to audio CD.

if you can burn that drm'd music via itunes, wheres the point of drm? you can just re-rip them and get nice vorbis music files.

iTunes doesn't suck, you dumbass. .

Whenever you re-encode something, it loses quality. So, to remove drm through the "analog hole" you have to first take your protected mp3 and burn it as a cd, so for that to happen you have to re-encode the mp3 to an audio cd, then to get that music back on your computer so that it isn't protected anymore you have to re-encode it again! That isn't good for all of us with golden ears, however, if by chance you're a burned-out old man, then you probably couldn't tell the mp3 quality has been raped to shit.

um, iTunes, maybe? it fucking comes standard with MacOS.

People get confused..... i Tunes sucks for windows, but on its native OS (Mac) It is the best in my opinion

I second this motion. It's fast and responsive. The Windows version of iTunes is SO SLOW... I don't know how you guys deal with it if you do use it.

what are you talking about.
PROTIP1: there is no "analog hole", because an audio-cd is perfectly digital.
PROTIP2: if you burn a compressed music file to an audio-cd it doesn't get "encoded" dumbass. it gets "DECODED" to an uncompressed audio-stream (as uncompressed as a digital audio steam can get), thus no quality loss.

i don't know what bitrate that music from the itunes store uses, but if your ears don't bleed after listening to it, they won't after audio-cd buring and reencoding to vorbis. the quality loss is negligible.

128 kbps Protected AAC's are the normal. There are a few songs known to be at a higher bit rate. Since jHymn doesn't work with iTunes 6 burning to CD and re-encoding is the only way now to get around the DRM.

I just stick with plain vanilla .mp3 files and a few .m4a.

Don't change these.
