Not being able to buy a physical copy of an album you really want.

I've got some really awesome albums on my computer that I would love to buy physical copies of, but in some cases I either can't find a physical copy of the album due to its rarity, or I can't buy the physical copies I do find because they're too expensive.

It's not that I absolutely need a physical copy, of course, but it's nice to have one, and it's nice to give money to the people who made it*, and not having physical copies of albums that are better than the majority of the albums I already own is annoying.

*This problem could be solved by buying the albums on iTunes, of course, but A) that still doesn't solve the not-having-a-physical-copy problem, and B) I can't find some of the albums on iTunes either.

    Just get it off itunes, then download it illegally and burn it to a CD. Print cd labels for the burned copy. Delete the itunes copy. Delete itunes. Problem solved.

    Why would you need to download it illegally? Doesn't ITunes let you burn songs?

    Yeah, I'm almost totally certain iTunes lets you burn CDs.

    I've used iTunes to burn CDs before; however, the files I burned onto the CD were in MP3 format rather than m4a, which is what iTunes encourages everyone to use. There's a chance m4a won't work, but I haven't tried it before.

    Burning the albums onto CD is an idea that's crossed my mind before, but I'd still feel like I was missing a "proper" copy even if I bought the files on iTunes (which I can't do for all the albums in question, since some of them aren't available in their store).

    You can burn songs purchased from iTunes to CD. Even if they're the ones from years and years ago when they were still locked down by DRM.
