Hi there,

I've only just released that the iTunes DRM actually allows you to play the music on an unlimited number of computers, except your only allowed to play music on 5 computers at once.

As I didn't know it at the time, on my last mac I didn't deauthorize it before selling it, so i'm trying to figure out a way that I can view all my authorized computers, like how .Mac works with registered computers. Does anyone know if I can do this?

Cheers,

Steven.

You can't view your authorized machines, but when you hit the limit of five, you can have all de-authorized by Apple, once a year.

Somehow (I can't remember now), I was able to view all the other iTunes accounts that were authorized to play songs from my computer.

Try this -- open iTunes, then from the menubar, choose Store -> View My Account. It should prompt for your account username and password, then display the information in the iTunes window. It's self-explanatory from there.
