Good & bad news. I discovered that my older iTunes 7.3.2 from Panther OSX 10.3 is not compatible with my newer intel mac. O.o So this will apply to all others out there with intel macs I presume.

The following file is only for those who are not using intel macs: iTunes 7.3.2 (NOT for intel mac computers) - (click on link). (Reminder, this is simply the program, not the installer, so trash your other iTunes out of applications folder first, may need to reboot to empty trash. Then copy the iTunes 7.3.2 from the disk image (after double-clicking the dmg file) to the Applications folder.) This file is zipped so will need to unzip it first. To open the zip file, go to File menu & choose Open with ... BOMArchive assistant or whichever similar option shows. If you have stuffit expander then it will be easier.

To download the above file, click on link, then click on the Request Download Link that shows on the page, then on following page click the Download file button.

* Warning: This may not work so just keep in mind. It might refuse to read the iTunes Music library file. So feedback welcome.

* I deleted my iTunes on my intel, reinstalled iTunes (7.6) from Leopard intel installation disk, received error that it could not read iTunes music library file since it was created by a later version of iTunes. So at this point I am not sure how to fix this issue for everyone. If anybody has any ideas, please feel welcome to put them forward.

I think iTunes sucks nowadays. Had many problems with the program since about version 7 came out on my old computer. Which includes lost files, songs losing their title or artist or album information (eg: missing the last few letters of the album name or missing the song or disk number or all those combined issues. Had this issue on my intel also.)
