Software for video editing w/ protected iTunes songs

[RMK 3]

Many people burn their iTunes songs to disc, rip them and then copy them into their video editing projects (for Apple .M4p files, the .M4a files work OK in Sony Vegas already). Much easier, I’ve found some software that “virtually” burns the songs to a folder called “TuneClone” at www.tuneclone.com

This is not meant to promote illegally copying songs, but allows you to use your already purchased songs for private projects. I’ve been looking for something like this; hope it helps others.

I think I'm done with itunes...but thanks for the tip, I'll keep that it mind for the current itune files I have.

I've just changed to rhapsody and love it. The interface is a little different but is easy to figure out.

You can listen to songs in their entirety before purchasing the mp3 that doesn't have to be converted before editing.

There is a fee of 13 of 15 bucks a month depending on the plan, but its like you have your own personal library of almost every song....well worth it.

There is also a free plan that will allow you to listen to 25 songs per month in their entirety.

Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Look for Requiem for iTunes or Jhymn to remove that pesky protection.

also do keep in mind, most of the iTunes songs are no longer protected, just right click convert to MP3

Thanks. I have converted my library, but thus far only about 15% of my songs have an update on iTunes.
