estunum Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Before posting, I did search for familiar topics and did not find answer to my inquiry. I'm trying to find a software that will make a virtual CR-RW drive, one that can be recognized by iTunes. The closest thing I found is NoteBurner, but requires extra steps within the software. I guess what I'm trying to find, and I understand it my might be too much, is a virtual CD-RW drive that can be recognized by iTunes, I burn music onto it using the iTunes burner, then being able to access that burned music from My Computer, like any other music CD. Hope that made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Have you tried Daemon Tools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estunum Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 I hadn't. Installed it earlier and it creates a virtual DVD Drive, so iTunes doesn't recognize it. NoteBurner is still the closest thing, so I think I'm gonna have to go with that and buy the full version. My goal is to share my protected music bought on the iTunes store. I have about 55GB of music and roughly 45% of that is music bought. So using this I will be able to put as much music as someone may want into a playlist, burn it to NoteBurner's drive, which then converts it into MP3. iTunes won't remove the protection unless a you burn it in CD Audio format, not MP3 or WMA.I had already kinda decided to keep NoteBurner, I just wanted to post this to make sure I had exhausted at possibilities. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidSage Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I also asked a while back about Virtual CD-RW software. http://www.msfn.org/board/Virtual_CD_RW_DVD_RW_t62174.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estunum Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) Yeah, I did see that one and those programs didn't help. You still using Original CD Emulator? It may be that for your needs it works, maybe even for mine, but NoteBurner is great. And all I need it for is the music, and the music only.http://www.noteburner.com/index.html Edited June 21, 2007 by estunum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomorph Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 i'm lost...you want to load music, that is already on your computer, into a virtual CD, to listen to it??why not just play the music that is on your computer as-is?i know in iTunes that you need to make a playlist to burn to disc. just make a playlist and play from it. why does it have to be on a CD first?

estunum Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 For my pleasure, I play the music untouched.Now, when I want to share my music, sometimes I can't because the music they want is music I bought at the iTunes store, which is protected music(M4P). The only way to best remove the protection , is to burn that copy-protected music into an audio disc using iTunes. When I do that, iTunes removes the protection so it can be played in a regular CD player. I can share my music using CD's but that would cost me many CD's and each CD is limited to 700MB. Using the virtual drive, I can create a playlist as large as I want, "burn it" to the virtual CD-RW, which then converts it to MP3.If I was to simply copy and paste that protected that music, when they try to play in on their computer it would ask to authorize that computer. An iTunes store account has a limit to authorize 5 computers, that would not work because I've shared protected music with more that 5 people. The virtual drive is to only to give me a final product of unprotected music without using physical CDs. Hope that clears it up a a little more, or you can go to www.noteburner.com to see what the product is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
