Editing songs from iTUnes Music Store

Does anyone know why some MPEG4 protected AAC audio tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store are editable while others aren't?
Since they are in the same format they should behave in the same way, I should think.
Thanks in advance.

The only protected iTMS purchases that I cannot edit part of the id3 tag is on the TV Shows. Other wise I can edit the tag as I chose. As to why one cannot edit the tag on certain parts I have not idea. I would imagiine that in some cases it is due to DRM.
Not much of an answer. What part of the tag can you not edit? What kind of file is it?

Why can I not buy songs from iTunes Music Store?

Earlier this year I moved from the U.S.A. to Sweden... changing my 'Mac.com' account address while doing so.
Last week, I tried to purchase some songs from the iTunes Music Store with my American MasterCard (a debit card) which is listed with my Swedish address at my U.S. bank. As I had never purchased at the iTunes M.Store before I was instructed to 'review my account'... which I did. It had my present Sweden address and my Mastercard listed as method of payment. Upon submitting the form, it was rejected, saying that my MasterCard was 'invalid for Sweden'! So I then go to the Apple-Sweden Store and purchase an iTunes Music Card which I receive in the mail the following day. Now I follow the Apple advice posted for purchasing music by redeeming an iTunes Music Card without listing a credit card (http://www.apple.com/se/support/itunes/store/giftcard/#GCA)... except there is no selection for NONE as indicated in these instructions.... So once again when I submit the form it is rejected, meaning that this time I have already spent money for the iTunes Music Card that is now worthless to me!
Is there another way I can redeem this card without going through that 'review account' window...?
I don't care to set up another account by setting up another e-mail address just to do this... as I want all of the Apple business to go through my Mac.com account as it should be configured to do so!

O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
I don't know what happened but this is the results....
After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

I just want to edit songs from itunes into a soundtrack for a slideshow but GB won't let me save it as an archive so the end result is very tinny. Help!

to Itunes as a compressed file
Try to save to iTunes uncompressed - if you uncheck the "compress" option, the file will be exported in aiff-format, CD quality. The file size will be larger, but your slideshow will have a better soundtrack.

Slow response from iTunes Music Store

This is a problem for a lot of iTunes Music Store customers. Many people have complained that they get "cannot connect to the Music Store" error messages. Apple replies that repairing the Keychain can fix the problem, but I and several others in various discussion forums find that doesn't help.
After upgrading to iTunes 6 and repairing my keychain, then restarting, I find that I can connect to the Music Store only after repeated attempts. I get the error message repeatedly, but if I keep trying enough times, I finally get through.
A similar problem happens when I try to preview or buy songs -- I get several error messages, then finally connect.
Using the Radio feature is similarly frustrating. I have to wait ten minutes or more after clicking on a genre to get a list of stations, and often I have to face a long wait with no error messages after selecting a station.
I don't have this problem when connecting to the Music Store from other computers, but I have no other problems connectin to the Web from Safari or Firefox, or with any e-mail program.
However, Apple's site seeems wonky -- lots of "document contains no data" when I click on forums or even to log in.
I am using an iMac G4 (the dome computer) with Mac OS X.2.8.
Apple, what's the solution?

You're not alone. Since Saturday I seem to be experiencing two problems;
1: The previews of tracks don't work properly - that is to say, they don't download correctly - I'm on 2Mb broadband and I've had to switch it into download the whole preview before playing due to it only playing 12 seconds of the 30 seconds if I leave it 'on the fly'
2: I have repeated problems downloading tracks from the ITMS. THey get 50% of the way through then I get ;
"There was an error downloading your purchased music. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
After repeated retries I eventually get the track downloaded but it's painful.
Again - this has only started happening since Saturday (I've been using ITMS on my mac since it opened in the UK), and like I said I'm on 2Mbits/s broadband with no other issues.

Purchased music from itunes music store doesn't play on ipod Mini

Can anyone please help. I have an ipod Mini. Whenever I try and play music purchased from the itunes music store, the song is skipped. I have just purchased a 20 track album and every track skips without playing. It is fine in itunes on my ibook. All music ripped from my CD collection plays fine on the ipod. Thanks for any suggestions.

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

2nd Gen (Touch Wheel) won't play audio book from iTunes Music Store

I have a 10GB Touch Wheel iPod (2nd Gen). Software version 1.5.
I recently purchased the unabridged version of The DaVinci Code from the iTunes Music Store. The 7-part audio book plays just fine on my iBook and on my daughters' Nanos but it does not play on my older iPod.
What happens when I choose the first part on my older iPod is that you can see it cycle through parts 1-7 without playing anything and then returns to the main menu.
I don't have problems with other music or previously purchased audio books.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

I figured it out on my own... somehow my device got switched to "shuffle" mode. I have no idea how that happened, but there you go. Since I never use it in that mode, it never occurred to me to check that. Sigh. I switched it back to 'play in order' mode and now it is just fine.

HT203433 I cannot find some of my previous purchased songs on iTunes Music Store? Lost?? Strange!

Hi,
I have lost many musics in the same album which I had purchased on iTunes Music Store.
I bought an album named "100 Supreme Classical Masterpieces: Rise of the Masters" about a year ago. It is a collection of classical music. It was a 100 piece of music but now I want to re-download it but it only shows me 15 tracks. I've checked it is not hidden. I've tried to search for it in iTunes Music and I found it. It is a 100 track album and it says that you've purchased this but in Purchase section only gives me 15 songs. Please help
Any idea?
Thank you.

I'm having the same problem with iTunes 11. When I purchase songs for the iTunes Store, they don't appear in iTunes for me. They appear immediately on my mobile devices, but in order to get them to appear in iTunes, I have to turn off iTunes Match and then turn it back on, and even then they only appear as being available for download. Oddly enough, if I go into the iTunes Media/Downloads folder, the original downloaded files are there. It's as if they aren't getting fully processed by iTunes and indexed properly after they are downloaded. It's incredibly annoying. I could probably drag those files into iTunes to add them, but I haven't tried that yet. Hopefully Apple will resolve this issue quickly. In the meantime, check your iTunes Media/Downloads folder. The files are probably there.

Finding a song on iTunes Music Store

Hi, I want to find a song on iTunes Music Library, but I can't seem to find it. I looked up every album by this artist and it doesn't seem to be there. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!

where else can i go to get the music i want to download?
It depends on the artist and the song. In some cases, a particular track just isn't available for download anywhere. Try the other legal download stores, or check the artist's web site (if one exists).

Transferring songs from ipod, Music Store

I got a new Mac and I have an old Ipod and I cannot transfer songs downloaded from the Music Store. Same from the Ipod to my Library because the version of the Ipod is too old.
If I update it, I'll lose my songs. Can I backup them from the ipod?
I do not have my old computer, so I have no more options.
Thanks

Updating the iPod software does not erase the songs from the iPod. Just be extra careful not to choose "restore" when using the iPod updater, as this will erase the songs.
To get music from iPod to computer, try either Senuti or Yamipod.

TV Shows from iTunes Music Store will not sync with my iPod

I have a video iPod (5th Generation). I just downloaded some videos from the iTunes music store and they will not sync with the iPod. I get the message "...some videos cannot be played on this iPod."
The error log says that the videos are not in a supported video format. How can that be? I purchased these from the music store.

This is actually the iPod nano (3G) forum. You might get better help, faster by posting in the iPod "Video" forum: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=157

Where is my song from the music store?

I bought a song from the mobile music store and I can play it on my touch, but when I am on iTunes I don't see it in iTunes or on the iPod.

I figured it out, I right clicked on the iPod from iTunes and it gave me the option to "transfer purchases". I just thought that it would have been automatic. The other odd thing is that the song didn't show up in iTunes even on the iPod until it was "transfered"

Video purchased from iTunes Music Store not compatible with my video iPod?

I purchased the White Stripes music video for "The Hardest Button to Button" from iTunes, but when I plug in my video iPod, it says it can't copy it over because it "can't be played" on my iPod. I don't understand what to do! All the other videos I've purchased from iTunes has copied/played fine...
Can someone please help me figure out what to do? Is it a bad video and I need to seek a replacement from Apple? I'm using iTunes 6.1, not the newest iPod updater (because of all the problems with it), video iPod, and Windows XP.
Thanks!

I need help! I've followed some suggestions from people at the IGN forums, but nothing has worked so far. I'm in the process of waiting on a reply from Apple.
Please help!

I am unable to see a song from iTunes music that was downloaded from the iTunes store

I downloaded a tune from the Itunes store and when I try to add it to a project in iMovie, it does not show in the Music list. Is there way way it can be shown to use it in an iMovie project?

Weird indeed, but I have seen this before.
Close and repopen iTunes. Close and reopen iMovie.
Still not there?
Reboot your Mac.
