Authorize More Than 5 Computers in iTunes!


Ok so ever wondered if there was a way to play your purchased music on more than one computer? Whether it be for legitimate, or "other" needs, i'm sure many of you have. Here's the tutorial on how to be able to play those pesky encrypted songs on more than 5 machines!
If you use a Mac, go to THIS directory
/user/shared/SC
If you use a PC, go to THIS directory
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC
Copy the entire contents of the SC folder, and paste them somewhere safe where you will be able to easily find them. Once done, go into iTunes, and de-authorize your computer to play purchased music. Now restore the entire contents of the SC folder, and you're machine can play your purchased music, but it no longer counts as one of your "authorized 5."
SMALL NOTE: This will let you play music you have ALREADY downloaded, but any new music, and it will re-authorize your account. If this happens, then simply repeat steps...(authorize/SCcopy/deauthorize/replaceSC).
