itunes protected files
0 Answers
how do i know if my itunes music files are protected? when i right click a song file and choose properties - it shows "general" (type, location, size, attributes etc)
and "details" (name, type, size, owner etc)
it doesnt say explicitly that its a protected file - im sure when i had windows xp (im now on vista) it made it obvious if it was protected. something like ACC protected (whatever that is)
basically, i want to back up all my itunes music. I started my music collection when i had windows xp, on another computer - i had to reinstall windows afew times, and when i put itunes back on, it kept saying something like
"you now only have 1 more authorisation on this computer" (i started with 5, but now im down to 2...i think)
so naturally i was worried when i got a new pc that it would tell me ive used up all my authorisation things, so i wouldnt be able to play the music i paid for!
i dont want to do anything "illegal" - so how can i ensure if my new vista pc crashes, when i reinstall itunes, its not gonna say
"sorry mate youve used up all your authorisation times, im not gonna let you play this music anymore"
and "details" (name, type, size, owner etc)
