I bought a brand new Compaq before Christmas with more specs than that laptop for $380 at Wal-Mart. It was a limited supply - stand in line - kind of buy - but well worth it. Laptops are certainly spendy though - You could probably get a desktop with more bells and whistles for the same price.

Always save your clipped tunes as "Save As" never "Save" Otherwise you'll lose the original and will have to download it again if you muck up.

Unless you are paying for the tunes - you may end up with a huge fine. It has been in the news recently. A Minnesota woman, Jammie Thomas-Rasset, was fined 1.92 million dollars for sharing 24 songs in June. Joel Tenenbaum was fined 675,000 on Friday for downloading and sharing 30 songs. Boy - I just don't think it is worth it - not to mention the problems you can run into - like RC described. If you have paid a fee to Limewire and think you are in the clear to d/l music without paying per song - YOU ARE NOT!! YOu have paid a support fee - to Limewire. You really were ripped off. You are still illegally d/l songs. iTunes works great for the iPod - but not for other types of MP3 players. I only use an iPod now - so I am happy with iTunes.

Thanks bob, I tried the search function and I still cant find that silly MP3. Actually I think it doesnt exist as an MP3 - its some streaming thing because the only place I see it is in Windows Media Player and under properties, it says its in my "download" folder but then it also says "ip (and a long number)ip.secureserver.net." Which suggests Im plugged into some streaming thing, no? I went back to Youtube and tried to download it as an MP3 again and got "error" -can't do it! So OK I cant have it, which is fine but what's with the games? Just tell me it's not available and I wont waste my time trying. (BTW, its some obscure 45 year old song I have on vinyl - guess I'll have to get to work converting that instead. Oh well! Thought Id save some time....)
