>>>Keep in mind that you can use iTunes to manage any MP3 files on your computer, not just ones purchased from the iTunes store.

>>I know. But I have had problems with QuickTime. I believe iTunes requires QuickTime and I had to uninstall QuickTime because it was causing some problems with my PC and I could not figure out how to deal with them.

>We have iTunes running on three computers here (two PCs and one Mac) and I have not noticed QuickTime running. But maybe it runs behind the scenes. IAC, good luck. I know some people think you have to buy all the songs in the iTunes library from the store and wanted to be sure you knew you don't.
No, I am not concerned about having to buy songs from iTunes. But I am pretty sure that QuickTime is required because when I try to run iTunes I get a message that 'QuickTime is required to run iTunes"
