gear - there has been some discussion on the apple forums about Norton Internet Security causing that memory error.  I had to disable the firewall in order to connect to the muisc store.

I’ve got a 15gb iPod, Win XP Home, Using MMJB, I’ve got all the patches and updates.  What is the recommended way of uninstall these to upgrade my iPod with the new patch and installing iTunes?

gear,

  Do you have Norton Internet Security? Apparently there is a conflict between iTunes and NIS that causes a similar problem. If you do have NIS, try temporarily disabling it to find out what all the fuss is about iTunes Music Store.

That tag thing sucks… I spent half the night trying to update them. No worries though, I’m very happy to have iTunes at home now…
I Love the way iTunes manages my MP3 Files; funny though, still haven’t used it to manage my iPod yet.

I quickly installed iTunes at my work computer and then downloaded a song to see how it worked.  It seems once you download the song, you cannot download another copy of the song as Audible allows you to do.  I thought one of the benefits of buying songs legally online was that you could access your entire library if you somehow lost the song or wanted to play your purchased music library at work. 

Am I wrong about the one time download?

...so I’ve fixed it…. It appears that
you need to turn off DLA and load a CD-R
for iTunes to recognize that it is a CD-RW
drive and then everything works fine

Installed it at work behind a firewall as with a previous post. I can’t acces shop either becasue it keeps saying ‘make sure are connected etc…’ although - I’m told that store is only available to U.S residents of which I am not one - so not bothered. I might use it play music - but Xplay offers all the ipod transfer needs that I require.

Ps. Depressingly enough I cant hear any difference between 192kbps MP3 and spangly new 192 kbps AAC. Could it be because Im demoing with Iron Maiden?

Has anyone figured out an EASY way to convert .m4P files to .mp3 besides burning .m4p file to an audio CD (.wav or .cda or whatever the heck it is) and then converting the CONVERTED file to .mp3?

I tried shutting down my zone alarm firewall but still can’t get into music store.

I’ve encountered two problems so far:
1. The Windows version of iTune rips CD much much too slow
2. My iPod 30 kept hanging up.  It appears as a disk but iTune hangs while it says that update is in progress (I’m running XP on a Vaio)

Hey GEAR-

Zone Alarm works fine with Itunes Music Store on my system- I did go under programs and authorize ITUNES to have internet access though.

I noticed what I think is an incompatibility with iTunes and iTrip.  When I synched my 2nd gen 10gb iPod up with iTunes, it transferred all of my songs and playlists without a problem, but it deleted my iTrip playlist, and I can’t seem to get it back.  The iTrip manual and website just talks about Musicmatch, so it must be an issue.  Anyone else having this problem?
