I currently am havine trouble playing my iTunes music on my 8830. I can play music with extensions .m4a , but not .m4p I also noticed the new razors come with iTunes software to play your downloaded music. Does the blackberry have this or how do I authorise my blackberry to play the music I purchased from iTunes?

Sorry, no iTunes for Blackberry. This may help:

Supported media files on the BlackBerry Smartphone

iTunes music is DRM, meaning it will only play on an iPod. You can burn your m4a's to a CD then rip them back into iTunes and then they'll play on the BB.

Yes I have burned my itunes music to a CD before converting and sending it through the DM. It works great.
This will not work for video. Only audio

Virtual CD-RW burner converts DRM protected M4P to MP3, M4B to MP3, M4A to WMA ... Works great and makes it easier.

With I-Tunes newest update I have noticed that once I made an Audio CD, then ripped to MP3 format, it sounds really weird...it fades in and out..like its in an echo chamber...anyone else experience this?

bradhs, you are right, noteburner works great ans it burns music in much faster speed than to record.
