Itunes Freezes

[Lisa]

I posted in the music forum and got no response to my specific question so
I'm going to try this one. I installed itunes and I am not able to burn
CDs. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps to no avail. I tried and
repair on itunes and then I uninstalled and reinstalled the program. My PC
freezes when I hit burn. I've also tried running the CD diagnotics in itunes
and my PC freezes. I've given up on itunes however, I've been charged for a
downloaded album that I purchased as a gift for someone else.It doesn me no
good if I cannot burn the files to a Cd. The files are AAC and aren't
recognized by WMP. I found a converter called Blaze Media Pro which allows
for conversion. My question is what is the best format to convert to ( i.e.,
WAV, WMA, MP3 or OGG) AND what frequency and bitrate should I choose? Thanks
so much to anyone who can provide some help. I have emailed itunes twice and
received no response. Thanks again!

Welcome to the brave new world of DRM (Digital Rights Management). Apple has
jumped into this world with both feet and Microsoft will follow with its
release of Vista. It's just another way for the big boys to ensure that
they each stay very wealthy.
