I downloaded Talk remix/live, but got the message they could not get into(converted) to my iPOD? WHY?

hey you're new here,welcome! :) Hmm..I dunno why :(

welcome from me too

 

almost nobody has ipods here :( :(

mine was stolen! :cry:

why you posted this in the lounge? go to Technologicalized

I have this same problem with the Coldplay live album, I own it I bought it but it will not allow me to burn it to my iPod. I have been told there is a code that prevents you from coping, I do not know if this is true but it sucks. I have went to the techno posts and they do not seem to give a clear answer either.........

They were put up as protected WMA files, which iTunes can't play [it can play unprotected wma files by turning them into mp3's or m4a's).

 

You have to either burn those songs to a cdr and re-rip them into a more iPod friendly format. Sometimes 7digital allows you to download into either mp3/wma or aac.

I don't have an iPod, but I would think its got to do with copyright issues

Coldplay is joining the copy protection craze, particularly cause they think that itll help stop piracy with music downloading, but the reality is itll probably make it worse. Eventually they'll take it off

Just to update what I found out. I had a tech friend run a check on the Colplay Live CD that I have and it does have a block from importing to iTunes. I have had no problem importing to my iPod or iTunes with any of their other CD's. This is where it gets strange, I got my copy of the CD back when it was first released, he just bought his copy and his does not have the block on it. So go figure. But I'm happy I was able to import his CD to my iPod.

That's pretty interesting that they would do that. Isn't that kinda against their whole "make trade fair" If their music is copyrighted agains't iPods, then how is that fair?

It's not the band who decide what to do with the albums, it is the record company who decides if they want to put on copy protection.

 

Simple solution, if you have windows media player 10, rip the songs onto your computer as mp3's, then import them into iTunes = success.

i gave to my iPod Glastonbury 2002 without problems too!
