I downloaded iTunes 7 and it wouldn't play any of my L/W music. I properly unistalled 7 (see link 1 below), re-downloaded 6, and all is well again. But are there correct iTunes 7 settings that allow L/W music to play on iTunes 7?

I am looking for a very detailed answer, in which ALL possible problem area settings are described, where they are located....AND HOW TO GET TO THEM, and what changes are required. There are many computer illiterates here (like me) and iTunes support won't answer questions about P2P users. I really think one HUGE answer, rather than having to micro-manage many little issues on this question would help everyone, including the administrators. If you have come up with the settings for iTunes that allow all L/W music to play, what are they? As a "for instance", during my transfer of L/W library to the new iTunes 7, a box would come up about converting files from one format (?) to another. I believe CAV vs. WAV comes to mind? Is this conversion what stopped my L/W songs from playing? Also, in searching through the iTunes HELP literature, I found words to the effect that iTunes 7 won't play any music downloaded for free from the internet. Is this true? So.....

1.) Will iTunes 7 play L/W music? If yes, please list and illustrate ALL settings that are required on both L/W and iTunes 7 to make this possible.

2,) Is there a way to modify the tags on L/W songs so that I don't have to re-tag in iTunes. About 50% of L/W songs are tagged correctly for transfer, with the title and artist matching the iTunes title and artist boxes, while the other half are tagged so that both the title AND artist go into the iTunes title box, with nothing in the iTunes "artist" box. This makes it impossible to keep effortless organization of music by the artist.

I link first a wonderful example of the type response I think many, many of us would appreciate. On the off-chance that 7 won't play L/W, this first link describes how to properly UNINSTALL iTunes 7. The second link goes to a website that still has iTunes 6 available for re-downloading. This query, and your detailed response might make a great "Sticky"? Thanks in advance.
