Okay, so I'm using Jaws 8 point something at the moment, so iI have no idea if that will work with the latest version of ITunes. Should I decide to experiment with it, are there any tricks I s hould know to make using ITunes any easier? As I said, all I want to do is buy material I can't buy anywhere else, convert it to mp3, and play it on portable devices that play standard MP3. Yes, I know there are higher quality files out there, but my ears don't mind. I really appreciate the help!

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.
