If you buy the latest Bob Dylan album from the iTunes Music Store, be prepared to lose four of the tracks when you burn it to CD. Four of the tracks on “Modern Times,” which is only sold as a whole album on the iTMS, are only made available as video files, and iTunes isn’t designed to allow you to burn the audio portion of a video when you burn your CD.
The CD version of “Modern Times” comes as a 14-track disc that includes the audio of the four iTunes videos; also included with the CD is a DVD carrying the four videos. In other words, if you buy the packaged good, you get the audio and the videos for the final four songs, if you buy the iTunes Store version, you only get the un-burnable videos for them.
The iTunes experience is lauded for its consistency and fairness, and for the ease with which iTunes customers can convert their purchased songs into MP3s. But this is a dramatic failure of the consistency, clarity and ease of iTunes.
First, when you attempt to burn the album (with the video-files, which are only distinguished from the audio-files by a small, obscure grey icon) to CD, the iTunes error message says only that the files “cannot be burned to an audio CD,” which led Kim Cameron, an experienced computer user and IT executive, to conclude that the files were locked — an error stating that these were video files would have been clearer.

This is EXACTLY the reason I don’t use itunes….they take your money and then try to screw you over. No thanks. If I did that then the blame would be on me for being stupid enough to believe that the people at the itunes store would actually give me my moneys worth. You can get anything you want for free at other places…why mess with itunes???
Guy’s! This is Bob Dylan were talking about! Bob sucks as bad as Rita Macneil and sounds about the same! lol
