Hmmm.
Curiouser and curiouser. Anyone smell the sniff of upcoming movie offerings here ?
YEP!
I reckon Apple will announce some sort of video ipod at the next keynote.
It is common knowledge that they are expected to announce an update to the ipod range soon (June?).
With this and the fact that the new itunes update integrates with movies more – it’s gonna happen!
I also think by the end of the year Apple will launch a ‘video/movie’ store too (US only initially – like how they launched itunes music store).
Nah, I just smell the RIAA putting pressure on Apple, which then put pressure on Roxio to turn off the music burning. Probably because you could burn the same CD as many times as you want under Roxios program while iTunes was limited to only a few burns of the same playlist. RIAA are the ones that limited how many burns that iTunes could do, and Roxio couldn’t limit the amounts of a single CD burn so it had to turn this feature off. That is my take.
Why in the world would they do that? I burn iTunes music fine using Toast 5.x? Isn’t that one of the ‘ok’ things you can do with your purchased music?
Uh, but, I like using Toast with Jam to make CDs where the tracks cross fade. You can’t cross fade with iTunes. This sorta sucks. Tell Apple to mind their own business.
Brando is right. I smell the RIAA as well. You can burn songs as many times as you want with iTunes if you create a new playlist. What’s the big freaking deal? Doesn’t the RIAA realize that real music pirates have expensive duplicating equipment. They aren’t sitting around in their underwear with their iBooks making copies.
This has nothing to do with video.
This is not news people. You haven’t been able to burn iTMS songs with Toast 6 now for quite some time. When Apple released QT 6.5.1 they broke that feature in third party apps with a change they made in the DRM.
Well, it looks like I’ll be sticking with 6.0.9 for a while longer, at least until the program does something so compelling that I’d be willing to trade off making cds with music I own a license to for the upgrade…
Well, Duh, folks. You think Toast’s developers aren’t still tied to the Napster folks?
Get a clue!
I’m still appoplectic.
That update only covers Toast 6–anybody know if Toast 5 Titanium is still compatible with Tiger?
It’s Quicktime (which handles the DRM) that has disabled the ability to burn iTMS tracks in Toast (as well as other 3rd party apps), not Toast itself. So keeping around an older version of Toast won’t do you any good…
what’s the difference? just burn a copy of it from itunes, then re-rip it back onto your computer from that cd. problem solved. now can burn it from toast, do whatever you want with it because the copy protection crap is gone.
Geez, wake up people…this “feature” has been broken in Toast (by Apple) for the PAST YEAR now…

Could this be the beginning of the end?
Following discussions with Apple, this version will no longer allow customers to create audio CDs, audio DVDs, or export audio to their hard drive using purchased iTunes music store content.
Pirated music — burn on. Legal music — burned out. I always thought Sony was hampered by being in the content business too. Perhaps this will apply increasingly to iTunes and other Apple software. The logical next step:
1) Flag music ripped from “legal” CDs;
2) Limit burns of unflagged music on the assumption that if they weren’t ripped from legal CDs or purchased from iTunes, then they must be illegal.
Music AND movies WILL be stored on hard drives AND they will be backed-up. Never again will you lose digital media files. Anything that promotes that has a market; the converse is worth pondering about.
It’s early times … but I am disturbed.
Those greedy record industry scumbags just want more and more. You have a private jet for crying out loud! I guess that the price of coke is going up. Could coke prices and oil prices somehow be related? Piracy only exists because of the system. If full-length CD’s were US$3, Napster would be some weird world only geeks would know of, like Zandar. That goes for movies as well. Coke, hookers, c’mon, what else is there to buy?
buy cds, trade with friends.
“Geez, wake up people…this “feature” has been broken in Toast (by Apple) for the PAST YEAR now…”
Actually, no it has not. When Apple released QT 6.5 iTMS file burning was disabled in Toast for a short time, then an update was released that fixed the issue. It was working until QT 7.0.
Now Toast 6.0.9 won’t burn iTMS files to audio CD either, because Apple has changed the APIs. Which is a shame, because now no 3rd party burning software can burn audio CDs from protected AAC files.
vPod is coming. YES. I’ve only been waiting 4 years to get my hands on a pod.
The RIAA sucks bigtime. It wouldn’t be so bad if the artists saw some of the money and it didn’t end up being sniffed up Record Exec’s noses … What other organization has the gall to ask me to pay numerous times for the same thing? – oh, wait, there’s probably tons of GREEDY BASTARD organizations out there doing that …
