The files do have a tag of somesorts on them, I noticed I cant play the tracks I bought from allofmp3 on the vb jukebox, but yes they do play on all of my computers players and if you burn them to disk as data they play like regular mp3s in the dvd players and cd players that play mp3s.

I agree its annoying to purchase tracks from itunes napster etc and then to be only able to play then on the machine you purchased them on or you have to download the license again from another machine and you can only do this a certain number of times.

If I purchase music I expect to be able to play it when and where I want to play it if i want to listen to it. You can run the tracks through a clean program (software to enable you to transfer your tapes/records to cd), whether you think it is worth it or not will depend on how many tracks you have bought.

ie play on computer and record to an external media then reverse the process, since I have software to allow me to put my tapes etc onto cd I just use this; I can then enjoy my music anywhere.

Where theres a will theres a way and as long as I am only doing this so I can listen to music I have bought I dont see that it can be breaking any laws.
