Chili - here is the Apple instruction document iTunes: How to Create CDs From Audible Content

It mentions creating a playlist for the selection, as Teach is remembering.

How-To @ Apple.com

Moments after I comment on anti-trust stuff....slashdot comes out with a story on how Apple is in legal trouble in three countries in the EU (with more following suit), that any songs purchased from iTunes should NOT have iTunes as a requirement to play them.

That's what I was talking about, I think, Eeyoreslament. There is a big class action anti-monopoly suit against Apple for the ipod set up.

Bonzacat, I did create a playlist for the book before I tried to burn. I read all the instructions. I tried burning two cd's because it said it had to split the file. The first cd was perfect; the second won't play and it only burned enough of the cd to make it unusable again. I reread in case I missed something. I tried again with the same result. It's a shame you can't wad up cd's before you sling them across the room.

I think I tried everything but just in case I am going to try looking at the speed change thing.

It may not matter anymore because I found a program that converts them to mp3 so I can just use Nero or Realplayer and not have anymore problems.

Thanks, Guys, so much for all your help and hints.

It shouldn't be this complicated. IMO

No Chilli, you are mixing up the iPOD, with iTUNES. The EU govt's would like Apple to remove the need for iTUNES (the program) to play songs purchased in the iTunes music stores. Those files are people's OWNED files, and they should be able to play them in any program they want, and on any player they want.


The iPod is not limiting itself to only songs purchased from iTunes. It's the other way around; songs specifically from iTunes cannot play in other Mp3 equipment. iPod equipment is fine with regular mp3s.

Here's the story...

It's more to do with the digital rights management programmed into the songs. Not the player.

I have a question. Has anyone converted their DVDs to play on their IPOD? If so which program do you recommend (easiest is best).

Sorry Ddr. I did not see your share request until now. The program I thought was working did not work. It acts like it's working the entire time it's 'burning' a cd but then all it does is ruin the cd. According to the info I could find, it did work until iTunes discovered it and updated their program apparently. Sorry. I'm still working on it though. I know there are many smart hackers out there looking for a project to work on and I think breaking iTune encryption is a good project. If I ever do figure it out, I'll be happy to share the info.

I bought a program called Transfer My DVD ($29.99 Office Depot). It is very easy to use.

Anyone listen to their iPod in a car using one of those station tuner things? If so, do you have trouble getting the sound to be loud enough? I need to turn up the volume literally to the highest level -- and even then it's not loud enough in the car.

I use one. In one car I have the radio frequency thingie. Volume works fine. In my older car I use a thingie that goes into my cassette player. For that one I have to kinda fine tune the volume level through both my car stereo and my ipod.

Have you tried adjusting the volume on your iPod along with your stereo volume?

Thanks, Tera. Both volume on iPod and on stero are at their maximum.

For this and another reason (some of my album art is screwy), I'm thinking about wiping my iPod and doing a fresh complete reinstall -- wonder if there's a setting when you sync that allows it to be at max volume. (?)

Nope. Music and videos only. (There's no tuner in 'em.)

Yes you can listen to radio with an add-on device.
