I was fully aware of that, my tongue was partially in cheek, but for some people that quaint old fashioned way would be actually easier. You can listen to tunes off CDs b4 buying them online too.
What you can do alternatively is play your file and simply record it as it is playing thru iTunes, though you may have to make sure only your player is being recorded and not your system sounds and alerts other wise every time you play a track you'll think you've got mail.
I tried iTunes a while back and it caused more damage than any virus I've ever come across as it decided to reorganise my filing system, without warning me.
So Be aware of this. Luckily I don't trust any software so tested it on just one folder out of about 30-40, so it
only took me a day to fix.
A bit arrogant to assume no other software will be accessing my music files.
The only potential reason for doing this as far as I can think is to prevent you using other software, just like they try and trap you into iTunes+iPod.
I refuse to use products that lock you in. Esp as Apple drops support for it's older products/software every few years. I know peeps who keep an old OS9 Mac running as they cannot afford to upgrade all their software to run on a new Mac. Imagine how pissed off you'd be if you finally gave in and replaced it with new stuff that then doesn't work [without Rosetta] on the new MacIntels
