Hi Kathy.
You can use Itunes as a general music library and player on your PC with no
problems at all. If you purchase music from the Itunes store it will be in
an Apple proprietary format, usually AAC, and you will need to convert it to
MP3 to play on other devices. You can do the conversion in Itunes itself by
browsing to the track or number of tracks and choosing convert.
There's a bit of a learning curve to Itunes and you need to have
compatibility right between your screen reader and the version of Itunes but
it's perfectly useable once you get into it.
Regards.
Kevin

Hi back atcha! No, I know I'd have to copy whatever music I download from
my PC to whatever MP3 device I want to play it on. I have couple of
devices
I can use, none of which are an IPod. Is the only way you can play ITunes
on an IPod? In that case, I won't even pursue using ITunes because I
don't
have an IPod of any kind. Oh, my, proprietary files make me so very sad!
Smile!
Peace,
Kathy

| Hi, Itunes does not work on the braille plus. You would need to copy
the
