Users with protected CD content face challenges uploading music to their iPod, especially if they have lost some CDs and cannot re-rip them.

Alternatively, users can transfer music files directly to the iPod as an external hard drive and convert them to AAC format using iTunes. This method allows for successful playback on the iPod while maintaining compliance with licensing.

AI has some form of control over your life. But what I’ve seen very recently is that people are loosing their ingenuity and deciding to use AI. I feel as if it’ll bleed into STEM which is kinda has already and, every idea or thought could become fully reliant on AI. Yeah AI makes life easier but at a...
