Considerations for iTunes Playlists

Because of the DRM used in some iTunes Store music, you can only burn seven copies of a single playlist with iTunes Store music in it to a CD. After you burn the seventh CD of that iTunes playlist, an error message appears with a notification that you reached the limit and can’t make more copies. To get around the limits on burning, add or remove songs. A change as small as one song resets the burn limit to zero, but you can’t use the same playlist, even if the songs are in a different order or if you deleted the original and re-created it from scratch.
