My only cation with itunes is that is rips cd\'s to m4a files... Then when you try to make an mp3 disk, you have to then convert those files to mp3s. If you dont have an actual ipod, i dont know if other mp3 devices will play the itunes files.
Mark, are you a pc or mac user? If youve got a pc, i think you can use windows media player to do it?
Best people to ask would probably davepeck, matt v or chris fitz.
