I've just purchased the Help: A Day in the Life album using iTunes. The download was successful but I when I tried to transfer the album onto my iPod mini, and it wouldn't let me. I also tried burning them onto a CD/R, but again it wouldn't let me.
The album has been downloaded in m4p format, and I think this is what is stopping me.
I've just seen what the problem is - on iTunes the total time of the CD with all 22 tracks is 1.4 hours. This is really going to grate, but the maximum time you can record is 1.2 hours. So you will have to delete some tracks to make them fit. I have been caught out like this before with ministry of sound albums- (iTunes specials) I am starting to wonder whether or not iTunes is really worth it- OK it's quick, but sometimes very disappointing. Sorry I can't give you better news.
