Something has changed recently, that means that rips from YouTube can no longer be added to iTunes. No one is sure exactly what has changed, but since it's in YouTube's interest to prevent music being copied from YouTube, it's reasonable to assume that it is YouTube that has made the change.


The way around it is to buy the music from a legal source, thereby supporting the artist.
