DOes anyone know the best way to burn ipod tunes to make an MP3 disc. i.e. free software to download. I imagine itunes does not allow it.
Simply resetting might have worked as well. It was probably the reset part of the upgrade that fixed it.

Converting Itunes purchased music to mp3 is a PIA. If you still have Itunes 5, you can use jhymn to convert Itunes purchased music to mp3. Or you can download Itunes 5 and use jhymn. It is the only really easy way I know of.
See here for details and updates http://hymn-project.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=4

The other way is to burn audio CDs with the Itunes songs, then convert to mp3s. Huge PIA to convert a lot of songs.

Apple breaking jhymn was enough for me to leave itunes.

The easiest way is to probably re-buy your music in mp3 format from allofmp3.com at a fraction of the price. You can get better quality files from there anyway. emusic.com is also another good source for drm free music, and the money goes to the artists. It is only good for indie music though, and even then doesn't have a huge selection. Not bad though for indie music fans.
