mark42 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Oh, really? If your conjecture holds true...Roxio would not allow any music imports. There is no disparity to the music industry if a consumer purchases music through a legitimate internet merchant versus purchasing the physical CD. Last time I checked, adding a song from a personal music library to a DVD slideshow is legal...as long it's for personal use. Thanks..it worked great. Thanks for giving me the answer I was looking for! Does writing the song to a cd lose some info that Roxio is looking for? I wonder if writing the song to a jump drive in the USB port would have the same affect? If it does, it would be faster, and not eat up CD's. Something worth trying.

Greg WHEN I buy songs off of ITunes I have to actually load to CD before I can come back and put it in a slide show. Just get enough songs to make it worth using the CD and at least you will be able to use it in your slide show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greglord Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 You folks are under some delusion that we gurus are making this stuff up… The ONLY way that downloading music came into being was AFTER DRM rules and systems were in place! You need to subscribe and run special software (with DRM checking) in order to download. If you would actually READ the agreement you checked OK to, you would find the rules clearly spelled out. It allows you to burn a LIMITED number of CD's (usually 4) then you have to go buy the download again! Since other programs cannot know what your rules/agreements/status are, they have NO Access to those files! That's the way it works and no bellyaching is going to change it! ___________________________________ Wow...take a valium, guru! You're on a completely different wave-length/subject matter. I was inquiring as to how the process could be completed...which a very nice bloke was able to answer. I guess you guru types dislike to be corrected. I'm not appreciating the school master lecture. Please save the condescending attitude for your high school class physical science class…or whatever your occupation that gained you the supercilious attitude.

You could always put several together later but considering the next time you turn your PC on, your HD could fail and everything you have not backed up is gone… Seems a pretty cheap backup.

sknis Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Not corrected; We knew that and as a group do not feel it is in the best interest to post that information on the forums. Too many people believe that we work for or represent Roxio so we tend to error on the side of caution. Others are not restricted that way but flaming people trying to help is not tolerated. What we say is the truth but you can ignore it if you chose to. BTW, did you read this -- do you own the music? Perhaps one copy of it but not unlimited copies. According to the recording companies.

tbrewst Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 To be able to use them they first need to be burned to an Audio cd.I doubt that whatever program Yahoo uses to burn cd's (WMP?) will burn an Audio CD to a flash drive. As far as importing any music,DRM is not on most retail Audio Cd's.It is mostly used on mp3's or wma's to prevent unauthorized copying of Digital material,hence Digital Rights Management. When an Audio cd is made from these files that info is not carried along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
