iTunes help

thisiskevin · 11-12-2006, 08:27 AM

first off, if this is against the rules of pirating music and needs to be locked...i apologize but,

im on a network at school and when i open iTunes, i get a pull down menu of "shared music". music of, im assuming everyone else in the school that has iTunes and has it set up a certain way.

my question is, is there a way that i can copy songs from other peoples play lists onto my computer?

again, if this violates any rules, mods please do what you need to do

thanks/sorry haha

As to sharing music the details are here:

Just to point out the limitations:

Limits to Sharing

While you can share most of your music, and playing music from a shared library is transparent, there are several limits you need to be aware of. You saw above that only five users can access your iTunes library in a given day.

In addition to this limitation, other users cannot listen to protected music files, including any purchases from the iTunes Music Store - unless their computers are authorized to do so. If you’re sharing music at home, you’ll want to authorize each computer (this means you enter your iTunes Music Store user name and password when asked) so everyone can listen to your purchased music.

You cannot share audiobooks purchased from Audible.com, but you can share audiobooks purchased from the iTunes Music Store. If you listen to an audiobook via music sharing, the file won’t save a bookmark when you stop listening; you’ll need to make a note of the exact time you left off so you can pick up again at the same point in the story.

Finally, you cannot use a shared library as a source for the Party Shuffle playlist, nor can you access music on an iPod connected to another computer on your network. And, because of copyright concerns, you cannot copy music to or from a shared library.

Share Those Tunes

Music should be shared - not by taking someone else’s files, but by letting friends sample the notes and melodies of your favorite artists. Use iTunes music sharing to provide your friends and family with your favorite music, and check out their top tunes as well. You’ll discover lots of new music, and you may turn your friends on to your latest discoveries.
