Kim, it appears that the four tracks you couldn’t burn were video- files that probably couldn’t be burned to a redbook CD, though the UI is still inexcusably confusing.
But there’s still something rotten in Denmark.
If you go to buy the plastic CD at Amazon, here is the track list you see. Check it out. There are two disks - an Audio CD (Disc 1) and a DVD (Disc 2):
Track Listings
Disc: 1
- Thunder On The Mountain
- Spirit On The Water
- Rollin’ and Tumblin’
- When The Deal Goes Down
- Someday Baby
- Workingman’s Blues #2
- Beyond The Horizon
- Nettie Moore
- The Levee’s Gonna Break
- Ain’t Talkin’
- Blood In My Eyes
- Love Sick
- Things Have Changed
- Cold Irons Bound
Dsc: 2
- Cold Irons Bound (Unreleased live version from Masked & Anonymous)
- Blood In My Eyes
- Things Have Changed
- Love Sick (From The Grammy Awards)
In other words, Amazon says the audio CD includes the audio tracks corresponding to the videos you get on the second disk. Isn’t that what you would expect?
The virtual product doesn’t let you do the same thing. Who cares if it’s not DRM on the audio - but instead, DRM on the video? I’m unable to strip the audio off the video to burn it to a CD.
I think iTunes (or is it Sony?) should have structured their download the way they did with the molecular set - giving you all the audio tracks, and letting you copy them to a CD.
As Cory says, the iTunes user interface is - in this one case - incredibly confusing. But in truth, even if iTunes fixed it, I wouldn’t be happy with the Dylan album experience. When I download an album I want the equivalent of the molecular product - with all of its 14 tracks, or whatever it’s supposed to have.
Meanwhile, Alex J wrote to me from England.
Alex apparently doesn’t think that videos have an audio track, or that I should expect to be able to put the soundtrack on an audio CD the way Sony did in the brick and mortar world (the miracles of modern science!). He writes:
mmmm.. I don’t see any DRM problems at all. I don’t see any errors on the part of iTunes anywhere. I don’t see …. well, shall I tell you what I DO see?
I see a loud mouthed idiot getting hysterical over the fact that he (she?) is trying to burn 4 bonus video - VIDEO - tracks to an audio CD and is being told by iTunes that it can’t be done.
Funny that.
Now, stop frothing at the mouth, go and burn tracks 1 through 10 (ie. the audio tracks, you know, the music?), and r-e-l-a-x. Oh, and don’t forget to put up a retraction of your silly rant
I guess “frothing” is not inaccurate, though hauling out the word “bonus” to legitimize the iTunization of the last four songs is a bit much - as is the implication that they don’t contain “music”.
Getting down to brass tacks, the trouble is that Blood In My Eyes and Things Have Changed are pretty decent songs (you know, those audio things), and I don’t want them caged up inside the proprietary iTunes environment.
FYI, Modern Times is definitely only a 10 track album. The other four ‘tracks’ are merely bonus material provided on a completely separate disc with the physical version of the album. They are in no way part of the studio recordings - in fact, Blood in My Eyes is from the album ‘World Gone Wrong’, Things Have Changed is from the film ‘Wonder Boys’, and the other two tracks are non-studio versions of songs from ‘Time Out of Mind.’
When I put the Modern Times CD in my player I only see those 10 tracks, ending with Ain’t Talkin’.
So while it sucks that you can’t burn the video files as audio, you’re not missing out on any of Modern Times by burning just the 10 audio-only files.
As such, it seems that the answer is “bad iTunes UI” - Apple’s site seems to have presented the ‘album’ as a 14 track collection of songs. For once I don’t think Sony (and certainly not Dylan) is to blame.
EDIT: on further reading it seems the problem must surely be that Amazon is inaccurately representing the CD as a 14-track album.
 
Wow. Are you saying you bought the two-disc set and the playlist taken from the Amazon page above is wrong? I’m confused-er and confused-er.
[...] Now it appears Amazon had it wrong all along.  Apparently Disc 1 of the molecular version is missing the songs in the four videos as well. [...]
[...] I got this information from Amazon and I suspect Cory did the same.  But I haven’t actually seen the molecular product, which is confusing because there are two versions as well, so maybe the same problem of unrippable music exists there.  It doesn’t change much, despite what deadlocked says.  The iTunes experience is lauded for its consistency and fairness, and for the ease with which iTunes customers can convert their purchased songs into MP3s. But this is a dramatic failure of the consistency, clarity and ease of iTunes. [...]
[...] Ben Laurie thinks I was damning digital rights technology when I complained about not being being able to burn some of the Modern Times songs I had paid for and downloaded. He writes: Kim’s got all steamed up over iTunes’ DRM. [...]
