I have never found a tune from the rotten apple music store uk that I wanted to buy. I would have bought plenty off USA but unless you have a US address for you Credit Card you can't do it. Damn stupid ..... Anyway I had a few wma files that I tried to put in a play list and play as I wanted, and I couldn't find a way. iTunes is just perfect .... I'll just repeat your last paragraph with the M$ and Mac the other way round but ... I'll stick with the Mac thanks Take Care :-)
