So my friend tried to burn a couple tracks purchased from iTMS the other day and got hit w/ this -

I think you get to burn a track to CD 7 times, but my friend hasn't even burned 1 time yet. What gives? This track was purchased back in March. Is there an expiration date on iTMS tracks?

The first time I tried to burn a CD in iTunes, I made this mistake. I spent 2 days looking at the forums on Apple and at iPodLounge. I never saw a thread that said check the box. Finally, I thought - do I have to check the box of every song when it is in a playlist? - so I did and of course it burned...finally. Having to put the songs in a playlist and then having to check the boxes as well - not necessarily the most intuitive Apple has ever been.

:D

Shame on Apple, though ... they usually have better error messages. If they hired me I'd write something more helpful, like,

"Please select songs to burn to CD."
--or--
"Check the box already!"

For giggles, I just tried doing this on my Powerbook. Lo and behold, although I didn't check which songs I'd like to burn, it started burning. So, I guess this error message is exclusive to Windows?

PS: Now I have a CD with three Everclear songs on it. :p
