    BS5 and iTunes

    Hi,

    I assume BS5 does not play copy-protected music bought  from iTunes store? I love BS5 but the problem is that most of my music is bought from iTunes store. Is there a simple solution?

     At present I have BS4 which of course plays (N.Music) all my music form my iMac and can nicely be remotely controlled by iPodTouch and Beo4, which is a nice thing. 

     After seeing and using the BS5 and BS4 side by side, all of a sudden the latter seems somewhat old-fashioned, but still very nice of course.

    Re: BS5 and iTunes

    At the moment, it is generally the case that nothing but Apple-branded products can play iTunes DRM-protected files.  A partial work-around is to use the "iTunes +" feature to update as much of your library as possible to the higher resolution, non-DRM files.

    We kid because we love.

    Yes, there IS a VERY simple solution:

    Locate only your purchased (and copy protected) music tracks in iTunes, put them in a separate playlist and burn all tracks to AUDIO CDs.

    Then re-import them via iTunes as MP3, 320kbit/s and you're done :-)

    Easy and legal.
