Don't know how many tunes you are talking about - but, iTunes Plus?
Go to iTunes Store - look for Link on right side of the page, under "Quick Links"
DRM Free Music for $1.29.
As the note mentions below - you can upgrade your current "purchase" library:

From the Apple site:http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/05/30itunesplus.html

Excerpt:

With DRM-free music from the EMI catalog, iTunes customers will have the ability to download tracks from their favorite EMI artists without any usage restrictions that limit the types of devices or number of computers that purchased songs can be played on. DRM-free songs purchased from the iTunes Store will be encoded in AAC at 256 kbps, twice the current bit rate of 128 kbps, and will play on all iPods, MacŪ or Windows computers, Apple TVs and soon iPhones, as well as many other digital music players.
iTunes will also offer customers a simple, one-click option to easily upgrade their entire library of all previously purchased EMI content to the higher quality DRM-free format for 30 cents a song. All EMI music videos will also be available in DRM-free format with no change in price.
Good Luck, Dave!


Happy Holidays.

Hi Dave,

The authorization is held in an invisible file but there is a utility that can alter it:

I haven't tried it but I'll need to for the next Mac we get...

How the heck you find all these work arounds is beyond me.

I recently noticed I have 1 more use of Quicktime Pro left. In my case it's because of the great computer crash of '07. Luckily this shouldn't be a problem.

check out amazon's mp3 download feature: http://www.amazon.com/...129WEA5JYG4EEARCKDRQ

100% unDRMed 256kbps mp3 files. Load into iTunes without a problem. They don't have all the songs iTunes does, but it's pretty sizable none the less. I was actually pretty impressed with the size of the offering.

I just downloaded my SDE for Saturday from Amazon. I hadn't really even thought about them being a provider until I saw it a few weeks ago. I paid for one from iTunes, but couldn't get it to work right, so just bought it again.

I think I save a dime! Laugh
