["Kane Brolin" <kbrolin65@xxxxxxxxx>]

To Brian, Andrew, and others:

I affirm that purchasing tracks in iTunes has been a problem for me.
For the most part I have stuck with iTunes 7, since I want to attain
as much functionality with this as possible in the hope that I acquire
an up-to-date iPod sometime this year.  I have attempted to purchase
albums and tracks using JFW 6.20 and 7.0, with iTunes 7.0.2 and iTunes
7.1.  In all cases I have found this to be impossible--probably
because I did not know how to set the VIEW preferences in iTunes so
that my focus would be on the right portion of the screen.  I have not
switched back to iTunes 6 because, in a conversation with Pace of Next
Generation, he attempted to purchase a track using iTunes 6 and
Brian's 6 interface, and this did not work for him, either.

As to the other point brought out in this thread, I have had success
using iTunes 7.1.  I have been able to subscribe to, listen to, and
download podcasts; to create, select, and burn playlists; to rip my
own CDs to the iTunes library; to select and play radio stations.  But
since this issue of purchasing tracks seems to affect more than just
me, and since I don't believe the special viewing preferences for this
purpose are outlined in Brian's manual--(please correct me if I'm
wrong!)--could someone please give me direction here?  I have brought
this up to the group previously.

Thanks.

-Kane
