I just won a pair and was trying to load music from my iTunes. Songs that i imported via cds worked fine but things that i bought off the itunes store didn't play even though they were there on the Thump Pro screen on my comp. I have an apple. Is this because the songs i bought were locked and they can't play for some reason. Help please +K
 
ya they wont play because there protected songs. the songs you buy from itunes are all protected, which tries to prevent people from putting them on the web so others can dl them.
people say that you can use audio hijack to re-record the song w/o protection, but i have no clue how to do this. maybe somebody on here can help?
 
theres the method that the guy above posted, but you might be able to use some of the new itunes plus songs, i believe they do not have protection on them, but i am not sure if they will work in other music players.
 
itunes itself is only a music player. if you've purchased music from the music store, it is saved in a folder on your computer somewhere. just find your folder of purchased music and you should be able to load it into your thumps
 
well yeah you can find it, but itunes has its own music format, .m4p and if you read the apple itunes store terms and conditions, it says within the first few lines that the itunes store format music will only play on apple products.
 
not sure if it was mentioned, but try right clicking on the song in itunes and click, "convert to mp3" and use that. the protection might come off if u do that(convert) it
 
does not work. apple is a little bit smarter than that lol. they dont allow their protected music to be converted into unprotected file types.
 
if worst comes to worst you can just burn your itunes bought music onto a cd and then import it again and it will be unprotected
 
I sware you can burn iTunes Plus songs.

And to the people who posted above, even if you find the file in your music folder or what ever, its still a protected file.
 
swear*

and yes you can burn itunes PLUS songs, because if you read into it, apple has removed the file protection formatting on their itunes plus songs. you cannot burn regular itunes songs to cd's as mp3 files, you can burn them as a data cd, but that still includes the protection formatting, and only "authorized" computers can play the itunes purchased music.
 
Hah sorry for the spelling errors!

So you can see if your purchased music is a Plus song by finding it in the iTunes store and looking for the + in a square next to "Buy Song".
 
I've always been able to burn any song i have bought onto a CD, just do that if its only a few songs.
 
Word. I was not aware of that. I haven't tried it in a while because I gave up on buying songs from iTunes. I was fucking bent when I would buy albums and not be able to burn them to CD for my car when my iPod was down. Thats sick that you can now. woot!
