hey, if it were me, i would have backed up my tunes. but then, if it were me, i wouldnt be dealing with iTunes in the first place. but when a buddy's little brother who doesn't have all the disposable income or experience of 25 years to know about backing up his business, how can one help to find a solution after the fact? i guess that's just how lessons are learned, huh? it's an audacious insult that the software knows you've already paid and downloaded the song and won't let you get a fresh copy. -- EFP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EFP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29626 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
