2007/7/10-16 [Computer/Companies/Apple] UID:47242 Activity:high | 7/10 My girlfriend downloaded music from iTunes onto another computer,
which we do not have access to anymore. Apple has record of the
purchases through the "Purchase History" option, but their policy
is that you can only download once. I never realized that. WTF?!
Why would they have such a policy when they clearly know what she
bought? Has anyone sued them over this? We have so many songs in

cassette deck with a CD player that won't cost more than say $120 and
which will have a "detacheable face". How likely is my car to be broken
into if I do it?
\_ The likelihood of your fancy shmancy CD player getting stolen
10-15 years ago would be the same as those expensive fancy shmancy

a tiny one. It's really annoying, and I want to get it fixed,
does anyone know of a good place to have this done? It might
just need to be cleaned, but I'm not sure how to do that with the
slot type player. Any suggestions? --jwm

has two Windows XP computers (one desktop, one tablet pc) that she was
using for her job before she retired. The computers themselves are old

all this corporate Novell stuff that I don't know anything about and

that CDR on my home stereo (DVD player), an old boombox (CD only),
and the computers. I cannot play it in my car stereo (BMW stock).
If I take that CDR and rip it on my PC using WMP to Windows Media

and I then use readcd on a linux box to verify the md5sum of the
burned cd, the md5sum of the CD doesn't match the md5sum of the
origional iso file. Is OS X modifying the iso image before it
burns it or something? Seems strange.
\_ Does this match on any of your other burned-CDs vs. ISO files?
