Hello, I had the same problem with some of the iTunes music I purchased. I had to burn to CD and then import back in to iTunes. Another thread here too http://forums.m…

I'm sorry, but this just blows. My Shuffle still won't play the purchased music and there doesn't seem to be an answer. I just got a new 30GB since my 10GB had a dead battery. T…

If both iPods fail to play the music, the it seems fairly clear that there's something odd about your iTunes installation. I don't suppose you have another computer that you can us…

Um the iPod shuffle does not support Apple Lossless encoding. Sez Playlist mag : "Unlike with other iPods, the iPod shuffle can’t play AIFF or Apple Lossless files—files that consu…

What the heck does that have to do with anything, imitchellg5?

iTMS content is far from lossless. It's encoded in 128kbps AAC format.

Why do they call it Apple Lossless? All of my iTMS songs are encoded in Lossless.

No... They are not. If you get info on an iTMS file, it should say "protected AAC audio file."

What is the difference between the two? I have always wanted to know.

Just a thought, but could it be that you have 5 computers or devices already authorized to play music and your shuffle makes it 6 and therefore is not allowed to?

Is there any way to import files from an audio book that is on CD, and mark it as an audio book in iTunes? I want to take the 30+ files that are generated, and show them as an aud…

I don't know if this is exactly what you mean, but i've done this several times. I create a separate playlist for each CD. I import the songs directly into that playlist -- and sin…

I have a 30G Viedo IPOD. I am currently lookign for a few things. 1) Speakers- I would liek to get a nice set of speakers for my apartment. I have been looking but I find good a…

1. What is your budget? Does the system need to be portable? If you are looking for relatively high-end speakers, you might want to read this article at Ars Technica. You might als…

Ok speakers- I guess my price range is this - I want to get back in quality what I put in on price. Meaning I want speakers that sound good and work well. Price is not a huge co…

Hello everyone. Here is why my ipod was being replaced in the 1st place. When i opened the box i noticed that if you look at itt at the right angle there is a bump or ripple on or…

Without a picture, it's hard to say, but I think I've seen something similar before. It's just a cosmetic issue, and can happen with brand new ones, so I don't think it has anythin…

Yes, but again, only at the right angle. It doesnt bother me if the bend isn't a sign of another problem to come or an underlying problem. I just want the thing to work properly a…

I have a USB 2.0 hub that has two external HD, mouse, and powermate plugged into it. The problem is when i restart my computer and i leave this plugged in none of the devices regi…
