inutes at
most.

Hi Cheryl, right now, I just want to play my streams, and I wish that
the mac was set up to where it would ask you which player you want to
open the file with, rather than this, taking over file types the way
windows does. What if I want to go to my radio short cuts folder,
and
find the station I want to hear myself? Right now, I don't want to
go
the i-tunes route, because I had heard that quick time is on my
system,
and if I need i-tunes later, I'll get it, but just blindly telling
somebody to learn i-tunes is to me, for a brand new mac user,
inappropriate, because we all have our own ways of doing things, and
maybe I'll learn i-tunes later, but for now, there's no law that
says I
have to have a nano or an ipod, or anything like that, and my
response
is not meant to be mean, but these players shouldn't automatically
take
over your file types for you.

ITunes doesn't start a library in a store; it builds your library on

computer and you can have complete control of it. If you do
command-comma
when in itunes, you will find the preferences you can set; by using
vokeys-space on different items in the toolbar in preferences you
will
find various preferences you can set. Btw the majority of Macosx
applications have preferences which can be reached with command-
comma.
ITunes doesn't pressure you to buy things; if you have it set up
right,
you'll only go to the store if you want to do so and once in the
store,
you can search and listen and explore all you want without being
pressured
to buy.
While you certainly can use various applications to play music, I
strongly
urge you to learn itunes. This program has changed from one that used
to
be almost totally inaccessible unless you knew certain workarounds to
being extremely accessible. I can now find my albums, add to and
delete
from my library, make playlists, etc. etc. etc. Obviousloy you got
into
a
situation with the store that you didn't know how to get out of but
that
shouldn't mean you never use iTunes again.
