IS there any way to increase that number? why cant i let unlimited people check my sshtufff out? help me paalessse

Answer 1

Basically all of the record labels assume you are a thief by default. So they will only let Apple sell music on-line if Apple encrypts the music so you are locked out of it. They then control how you can play the music to try to prevent copying. And in your case just giving music away.
By the way. Activating iTunes on computers you do not control is a bad idea. If you have signed in and activated a computer any one on the computer can buy music on your account.
To actually get music in a format you can use you can do one of two things. Either burn the music to CD and then RIP it to MP3 files. Doing this will give you standard MP3s you can play how ever you want. But you get a lower quality music files than you paid for, you lose the cover art, and you lose on the meta data for the file.
The other option is to download Hymn or Jhymn. These programs decrypt the files so you can use them however you want. You get the same sample quality, and keep the cover art. But Apple continues to try to prevent those programs from working with each iTunes upgrade.
By the way using using either of the two options listed above violates your user agreement with Apple. If they find out they could cancel your account.
