Just a small postscript, lest anyone should get the impression that any tune put on iTunes becomes "protected". Only tunes that come from the apple music store are protected. iTunes is just the application through which you buy them. You can stick anything you like in iTunes provided the format is supportable . no not wma! and the latest thing, programming it to automatically collect and discard when heard your choice of hundreds of podcasts is just amazing. .....end of plug...
