Reason #5 why iTunes DRM sucks: I own the songs that I bought from iTunes store, but iTunes refuses to play them, even thought it tells me my computer is "authorized"...wtf!

Yeah, I had that happen to me a couple of times. There's a way to wipe out all the authorizations from the Apple DRM Servers and start from scratch, but you can only do it once every 1-2 years. Don't ask me how, I can't remember, but it can be done. - Raoul Pop
@Raoul... thanks. that lead may help. I'll snoop around iTunes 'Help' - .LAG liked that
Really inconvient. I think its though your iTunes account settings. I re-installed one of my computers a few months ago and for go to de-authorise it. Opps!!!! - Roberto Bonini
all you need to is sign into the itunes store then in the quick link section at the top right click ACCOUNT ..then if you can reset all your AUTH's the button to click will be to the right of where it says "Computer Authorizations" . .hope that does the trick for ya (: - John Blanton via twhirl
I'm pretty sure you can whack your authorizations and start over once every six months. - Joey Gibson
I would never buy anything from iTunes. Thank goodness for Amazon. - Matt
@Matt... I'm dumping my Treo for an Android G1, so I'll be looking at Amazon MP3 - .LAG liked that
I try to stick to iTunes plus songs. The DRM'd stuff I burn to Cd and rip with WMP. - Roberto Bonini
Jeez, I'm really not awake. I scrolled down my FF page, saw this, and thought it was a popup notification on my own computer and I tried to click "OK". - Rochelle
@Rochelle... .LOLz! - .LAG liked that
You can use doubleTwist to convert the files to MP3. - Rodfather
crappy DRM. That's why I only buy my own CDs and rip them myself into high bit rate crystal clear DRM free mp3 files. - Thomas Hawk
Yeah, I do as well Thomas. But i'd rather save on the P&P from Amazon if I can. - Roberto Bonini
You need to find a copy of myFairTunes - ThePicMan
