Sorry if this is a dumb issue. I had heard that you can burn iTunes playlists an unlimited number of times, yet I tried burning a playlist for several of my friends for Xmas and I got a message saying I reached the maximum number of times I could burn some of the songs I had bought legally through the iTunes store. It's not like I was in a commercial venture trying to make a profit- it was probably 11 tops. Has anyone else run into this? Is there any way to get around it?
Got a tip for us?

It's not unlimited. IIRC, you can burn the same playlist which contains iTMS songs 5 times (edit... didn't know it was as many as seven? Perhaps I'm confusing with number of computers you can share with)
You could burn one - and then copy that CD but if you rerip, the quality will be slightly less.

that playlist can only be burned a limited number of times.
now if it were a slightly different playlist or deleted/recreated or renamed. i don't know.

According to Apple, unique playlists containing bought iTunes bought songs can only be burned upto 7 times.
Apple and the music labels think that people would just burn and burn and give to friends and no-one would buy. After all, the music you bought should not be pirated.
However, it seems you can simply get around this by making a new playlist with the bought music.

Not sure if this works though as I have never tried.
