  Yo.

  I've bought some music from iTunes. Defected compilations, before you ask...

  The are MP4, DRM... just dragged them outta iTunes, burnt a CD and my CDJ's (1000 Mk3s) won't read it.

  Wank.

  Tried burning them to a CD to re-import but iTunes won't let me.

  Does the new version stop you doing that or am I being monumentally stupid?!

  I need them for tonight - HELP!!!

  • The only place you should be dragging anything is in iTunes, to a playlist, which you can then burm– locustsloth

  Check your preferences and make sure you are burning audio cds and not data or anything else. It makes a huge difference.

  Haha, I'm an idiot, my burn settings were set for MP3. It's probably going to work now... although as a audio CD all the files don't fit so I'm going to have to edit the playlist down which I don't really want to do... oh well, needs must...

  Thanks monospaced :)

  You may have downloaded them as AAC files from iTunes. CDJs don't support AAC. Best bet, as mentioned, is to burn them as audio CDs. I do this as not every club has 1000 MK3s/800 MK2s so it's better in the long run.

  I have a question. Is there any way to reverse the action of deleting a playlist? Somehow I manage to delete the "Recently Added" playlist every few months. This results in all of those songs being put into the trash. Then I have to copy and paste them somewhere else (out of the trash) and add them to their separate playlists all over again. Very annoying.

  • make a smart playlist that adds new songs automatically– Kidneon1/2

    that's the one I have.– Jaline2/2

  I bought an audio book from itunes. It's DRM encoded, but the tracks are 2.5 hours each, so too long to burn to an audio CD and re-import. Anybody got any tips for stripping out the DRM?

  • you DJ with audio books?– kld1/2

    Yes, I mix the 4 hour work week into my sets.– rocknonstop2/2

  only thing I hate about iTunes is how bad track breaks are. The flow between two songs is never possible again without their stupid fades.
