[Switchblog] Of note: Following discussions with Apple, this version will no longer allow customers to create audio CDs, audio DVDs, or export audio to their hard drive using purchased iTunes music store content.

[The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)] A Reader's Plea For Help: Stop the Limited-iTunes-Sharing Madness: TUAW-reader Robert wrote in today with the following complaint: "The limited number of times a shared iTunes library can be shared in one day is REALLY annoying. I live on a college campus (not because I'm a student) and my apartment shares a broadband network with all 600 students in the dorms around me. I USED to have access to some real great music and I got a lot of exposure to different kinds of music. The exposure to other music meant I bought *more* CDs.

[Darknet] 'Darknet' endnotes: Movies are huge, expensive endeavors that can't be made in a garage or on a bedroom mixing board. Consumers are happier paying $10 for a special-effects extravaganza or an epic drama than they are $16 for a glorified mix tape. Customers who feel they're getting their money's worth are less likely to turn into pirates. Now the bad news: You're at risk of alienating your customers like the music industry did.

[Bpurcell.org] bpurcell.org - Converting Itunes protected files m4p to mp3 files: kept having error messages. Xilisoft Audio Converter, which was listed on their site,also didn't work. and, when i converted a file with M4p2MP4 which was also on Tunebite's site, made a file the same size which STILL wouldn't play in Quicktime (which supports MP4 files). however, Jhymn, the Windows version of Hymn (which i had "badmouthed" before for lack of copying ID3 Tag data), picks up Hymn's faults and creates mp3's WITH track info and all!

[Blogs.msdn.com] Larry Osterman's WebLog : Playing Audio CDs: Everything starts with a WMP CDRom collection, which is a list of CDRom drives available on the computer.  We enumerate the collection to ensure that there's at least one drive available, then access the first drive in the collection (usually the D drive).  Assuming that there's an audio CD in the drive, this will return an IWMPCdrom object.  On the CDRom object, there's a playlist, which is the collection of audio tracks.  To enumerate the tracks on the CD, you can simply enumerate the items in the playlist collection, and print that information out.

[Oreillynet.com] Copying Audio CDs on the iBook: My old OS 9 version of Toast will duplicate audio CDs. I'm sure the current version does as well, but I've never tried it.
