I used to use ***, but lately I haven't had the need to download music of software in that fashion. iTunes gives me everything I need music-wise for a good price, and I've moved on to using open source apps if I can't afford the real thing (it's also given me a clear conscience in that respect ). Yeah, OpenOffice 2.0 for the Mac is clunky, but it works for me. Don't really need Office for the Mac.

Yeah, I was just sharing how I've changed my ways (actually, this forum was a catalyst for that). I wouldn't dream of talking on HOW to do it.

The reason that functionality was not built into iTunes was because Apple did not want people to steal music. Even before they opened the music store piracy was a concern. There is shareware like Anapod to hack iTunes to work as suggested; but convincing Apple to change based on your problem is not likely to happen. Although, you can try.

So here is my question to Moderators: Why are the majority of questions seen in this forum from PC user's problems with iTunes when this is a Mac support site?
