These songs such as "Beat Up Cars" by Moonlight Towers, which I downloaded from their website into a quicktime file, will play directly from my computer's speakers, but won't transfer to my ipod or play over airtunes. In the middle of a mix my computer (playing through airtunes) will switch to the computer's speakers instead of playing through my stereo via wifi. It's extremely frustrating. Is this some kind of licensiing thing?<br> <br> Is my only option to get the songs into my ipod and over airtunes to burn thems to a CD then re-upload them to my itunes. Seems crazy, no? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.44772 Fri, 18 Aug 2006 23:27:15 -0800 airtunes borg empire. evil ipod mac catfishjohn
