17. When I went to the download site
I didn't see any option for saving as an MP3. There was no "advanced" menu at the website. It may have been part of the promotion to encourage people to use iTunes.
Does it let me burn a CD with songs I've downloaded on iTunes plus songs I've downloaded with other programs? I don't need a program that makes simple things difficult and tries to force me to play all of my music in that program in an attempt to protect a company's profit margin.
