I've never really used iTunes and certainly never bought anything from there... until last night.
I'd been given a £25 voucher and as I'm off on the train tomorrow thought I might buy an audio book. I chose The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives by Leonard Mlodinow.
So I redeem the voucher, buy the thing and download it, so far so good. However it has downloaded as two files, each a bit over 4hrs long. I also had to enter my password to authorise it to play and it said something about only being able to do this on five machines.
So... the problem is that I want to listen to it on my Sandisk Sansa. If I just copy over these two larger files they aren't going to play are they? What's the solution here, I didn't think iTunes had DRM anymore? Any way to split it into more manageable chunks so I'm not left haven't to skip through a couple of hours of one file to pick up where I left off?
So far the whole thing seems a bit naff, am I doing it wrong?
