greetings;
I recently bought a used iPOd from a coworker, it's been fine, but
I've started using it on 2 different computers-- and I can't move
music off the iPod onto the second computer.
I thought that that was the point of "authorizing" each computer-
it would know it ws you and let you do what you want.
Well, yes and no. Authorizing the computer allows you to play your
purchased music on it. You can synch any number of iPods to a
computer, but each iPod only synchs with a single computer at a time.
That said, if you want to copy music from one computer to another,
you can do it, but you have to designate part of the iPod disk as a
disk drive, and copy them music files to that partition, then onto
the other computer. If the ITMS music you copy is authorized on both
computers, then it'll play.
Is this an example DRM working the way it should (restricting my
fair use right :) or am I missing something?
Well the choice is dealing with Apple's (minimally) problematic DRM
or not having the devices at all, because the RIAA would sue them out
of existence.
There are numerous programs out there to do what you want.
