ITunes works fine for me as well... I don't purchase music from their site, I use
www.allofmp3.com with their allofmp3 Explorer, and it works fine. They have most anything that's available out there at 25% the cost of Itunes. I'm absolutely no techie, and supposedly you're not supposed to be able to buy music from other services and put it on Itunes....but I have, and it works for me.
