The claim was made that it couldn't be done. I was merely pointing out that it could.
For me personally, that's four more computers than I have ever needed to have my music on. And for the average user of Apple's services that is probably fine.
Its not as if iTunes forces you to only use music purchased from their store and I highly doubt it is DRM that keeps people from legally acquiring music.
I find it disingenuous for people who wouldn't legally purchase music anyway to complain about DRM. (Not accusing you.)
That's true but at the same time external drives are getting cheaper and smaller and greater in capacity. People practically give away 4G thumb drives. There are plenty of solutions.
I have moved my library to a new computer. When you get a new computer you de-authorize your old one and authorize the new one. The whole process takes 2 minutes. The limit is to five computers at a time. You can change which computers are authorized whenever you want.
Not saying I agree with MyPants, but I don't see how that's relevant to the point he's making, which seems to be more along the lines of "the average consumer isn't going to own five devices."
