How many GB is iTunes?

Answer 1

• Users can make a maximum of seven CD copies of any particular playlist containing songs in the mp4 file format purchased from the iTunes Store.
• Users can access their purchased songs in the mp4 file format on a maximum of five computers.
• Songs in the mp4 file format can only be played on a computer with iTunes or an iPod; other MP3 devices do not support FairPlay encoded tracks.

There are no restrictions on number of iPods to which a purchased song can be transferred nor the number of times any individual song can be burned to CD.

When Apple initially introduced FairPlay, songs purchased through iTunes had limits of three simultaneous machines and ten CD copies of a playlist. The adjustment to the current limits was implemented with the introduction of iTunes 4.5 in April 2004, presumably as the result of re-negotiations Apple had with major labels.

Apple's DRM technology is breakable. Various programs have been written to remove the FairPlay wrapper and allow the AAC files to be used without technological restriction. More simply, a user can convert protected files to unprotected MP3 format by burning them to an audio CD, then ripping them back to iTunes. (Some audio quality is lost in this Transcodefrom one Lossy_compressionformat to another, although Compact Discs are lossless, typically the end and start formats are both lossy) An alternative, though equally lossy, way of transcoding the files is to record the "Wave Out Mix" using an audio recording program (such as Audacityor Audio_Hijack_Pro) while playing the song on iTunes - and then encoding it to a format of the user's choice.
