Thanks to both of you for your advice.  One thing that sticks out in
my mind though when reading it is that these other sites you
mention,napster and emusic and I am not familiar with the real player
music store at this point, do not offer the kind of selection I am
looking for as far as I know.  Itunes covers the entire range of
things and I believe sites like napster focus on a limited scope,
mostly if not all new stuff.  My interests are mainly contemperary
Christian and Worship music (mainly the stuff from a number of years
ago)  and classic rock and some older pop music stuff.  There are a
few things outside of that, but that comprises most of it.  The last I
knew unfortunately Napster and certainly emusic were not into any of
this.  So while those sites are great from the accessibility
standpoint (an extremely important and necessary factor), they may
still not be the source of things I want.  Again thank you though for
the pointers and feel free to let me know if my knowledge of the
selections at these places is not accurate as far as you are aware.
