Why can't I burn music from iTunes?
I used to be able to drag files from iTunes to Toast and burn them. But for some reason, I can't do it now. Anyone know about this?

1. You have to burn the songs on a CD, then load them from the CD back into iTunes as MP3s
That's the only way that you can defeat the iTunes DRM

3. If it's iTunes DRM MP3s, they can ONLY be played by the person who bought them
The fool didn't covert them before he uploaded them

He didn't realize that iTunes DRMs are only playable by the person who bought them

4. Could it be something with the latest version of iTunes?
I used to be able to drag any file into Toast from iTunes and burn it. Now I have to open the folder that contains and burn them. That's what doesn't make sense.

7. If I click on a song it plays fine in iTunes.
That's what I don't understand.

9. It says I have permission to read and write
But like i mentioned, I can burn from the original file, just not from iTunes. Which doesn't make any sense to me.

10. I don't know
Since I refused to upgrade to the lasted version I can't tell you what the lasted version prevents

You got me beat

I have to leave now.

Good luck

5. Burn a CD in iTunes.
Make a playlist of all the songs. Insert a blank disc, hit "Burn CD."
