| OS install. Itunes library
I have a machine that won't boot. I have a large itunes library that cost me hundreds of $$$. If I save all the data, and reinstall the OS, will the itunes DRM allow me to play the music on the freshly installed system?

Dayton, NJ | You can authorize up to 5 computers to play back your DRMed content. If you hit the limit you can deauthorize all the machines and authorize another 5. I think you can only do that once a year or something. |

From previous experience... If you save all of the files from the drive, you can play anything from the Itunes library as long as you authorize the machine. I repair computers for people from time to time and if I can stick the drive into another machine or a usb drive and retrieve the files, I can reinstall the files back onto the fresh install and reauthorize the machine and everything goes good. I have even saved all of the music from a Ipod setting on 2 freezer packs to get the music. |
