Thanks. I’m sure there’s an app for that if someone really wants to. I dabbled with music sharing when it first hit the Internet but decided both for reasons of ethics and convenience not to continue using those programs. I think I have since replaced the few tracks I got that way with legit versions. Sounds like it would be worth my time to subscribe for at least a year. I’ve also been reluctant because of the less than optimal way iTunes handles music on Windows, but now having converted to the Mac and understanding a little better how it works I may go for it.
