i hate itunes store because you gotta have an id and password so you can download and buy music or videos, but that's not the only thing, then you can't move your music into several computers because the fucking password must be putted in all the computers and you have 5 authorizations only.

after that you can't put or let's say, share your music with friends because you have already 5 computers using it.  unless you pull out the authorization from 1 computer and assign it to another, but these are just a lot of complications.

do you guys know any other web page, place or anything, where i can download music or videos without having this barrier? i don't care if you need to pay, but it is too much having to have this useless rules in itunes store......

The whole point of LEGAL music is that you can't share it with your friends (i.e. let them have it for free).....because that's illegal

5 computers is pretty generous for authorisation, and it's a pretty decent system for attempting to stopping piracy.

I've been using iTunes for about 3 years now and haven't had a problem with it.

And you'll need a username and password on any kind of legal music site, because otherwise you won't have signed up and paid for it!

yeah, i know about this legal point, my problem is that i bought my music with someone else's account and as it's his account he may need the authorization of my computer, but whatever, i'll have to buy CDs or something like that which is more easy, i like itunes, but the store has been a problem,

It's only 5 PCs at one time, you can de-authorize a PC and authorize another.

If you want to buy music without restrictions on it, you need to buy DRM-free music.

I believe you can buy DRM-free music from iTunes, but it costs an extra 30 cents per track.(and whether they actually allow you to do what you want with it I'm uncertain, they may still bind you to a iTunes related machine)

i've heard a bit about this
http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/01/qtrax_promises_..._impossible-2.html
it gets companies to pay for the music by advertising
www.qtrax.com/

The songs with a little plus icon next to them are DRM free, and don't cost any extra (anymore). Although it costs money to upgrade tracks you previously purchased to DRM free.

eMusic and Amazon offer pretty good DRM free music selections.

yeah, i'll try this but otherwise i'll be following the iTunes rules

Or, you could just remove the DRM from the tracks......

Zune Marketplace has DRM-Free MP3s now.

If it's DRM-free, then you can do whatever you like with it (save for filesharing etc). There'll be no limit on how many machines, no limit on machine type, no limit on number of plays... no limits at all.
