nope, i'm afraid they're copy protected and will only work in itunes or on ipods. apparently the only way round it is to use itunes to burn the files to cd. then you can rip the cd back to whatever file format you like.

itunes have recently started selling premium drm-free files but it's unlikely the collection is made of those- otherwise you'd know about it already.

I'm afraid you will probably have to get a new iPod, i'm pretty sure that songs on iTunes will only work on iPods as the songs are copy protected.

i think it only works with audio cds.

unless there such things as audio dvds? basically just creating data disks won't work.....
