My new G4 and iTunes
 

well, looks like they are winning the battle against the burned music, I keep getting messages saying "you are not authorized to play this song" and then I get asked for my email.

I assume they direct you to the Apple Music page where you purchase the rights to the song.

Smart for them, but damn, that is a lot of music I had from back in the day!

Why don't you use the another player?

I don't know. I love iTunes.

They have to be making a fortune off this.
