    My sister got an iTunes voucher for christmas. Her computer isn't very good so she wanted to use the voucher on my computer. I was just wondering if I logged out of my iTunes account and let her sign in and buy her songs would they stay on my computer or will they stay on her account so when she goes home to use her computer the songs will be on her iTunes?
    I just don't want to take the risk and have all of her songs that she's bought stuck on my computer! Help would be much appreciated. :D

    As I understand it, any music bought on iTunes is, since last October, available on all your devices wherever you log in. Thus, your sister will recover her purchases. However, I suspect once you log back in with your own account, these purchases will not be playable by you.

    Since music bought on iTunes is no longer DRM protected, playback shouldn't be a problem. However, she should really get whatever problems sorted out on her own computer because there will is a limit to the number of computers an iTunes account can be associated with (five) and it would be easier to organise her library rather than have it scattered across other people's machines.
