Regarding hints on evading iTunes Store copy protection
Authored by: extra88 on May 08, '03 10:19:47AM

At this point, TiVo can't play AAC files. There's a good chance it will add AAC support in a software upgrade but it's unlikely it will ever be able to play tracks purchased through iTMS because of the DRM. To play a purhcased track a device has to be authorized. Authorization requires iTunes to contact an Apple server. Your TiVo may have a network connection but it doesn't have iTunes and it probably never will. Windows is going to get support for the Music Store because Apple is writing an iTunes for Windows.

You can play purchased tracks on your iBook just by copying the files to it just like any other file then authorizing the tracks on the iBook (which requires a network connection). Once the tracks are authorized on your iBook, they don't have to be re-authorized.
