Tina, ITunes may have some proprietary software to prevent that.

About inquiry number 1... Pretty much all you have to do regarding editing songs is to right click and choose "Get Info". With this, you can include album artwork which may be added if you have a thumbnail of the artwork saved on your pc. You can also add songwriters info,release date,album/album artist,choose the genre,etc. About the artwork-the way I get artwork is to go to a SG artist's website and visit their product page/store. You should right click and choose to save the picture...it's pretty simple from there on...
I'm not sure about putting music to another mp3 player in Itunes...
BTW-does anyone know how I can stop Itunes from making every song fade off when going to the next song? It's really annoying sometimes..

We must have cross-posted. Anyway, to answer your question go to: Edit -> Preferences -> Playback, then uncheck the first box, which is "Crossfade". Should solve the problem.

Go to itunes.
In right hand corner, click edit then preferences.
Next, click advanced then importing
drop down menu beside import using, choose mp3 encoder
Click ok
In your itunes library, right-click beside the song title then choose convert to mp3
This usually works.
If it does not, dump the songs to a blank disc and then import them back to itunes. They are now imported as mp3 files.
Good luck.

By the way....Do yourself a favor and invest in a iPod. These are far more user-friendly than most other brands.

A Zune is good too. What I dislike about itunes is that if you purchase from itunes, you can't play it on any other device. That really annoys me as hubby has an ipod and I have a zune. Anyway, the songs I have purchased on the Zune software can be loaded on other things.

Have your hubby burn you a cd with music purchased from iTunes and then import that CD into the software you use for your Zune.

I am sorta OCD about having the album cover and all, though. I don't think it works when you burn a CD. Or are we doing it wrong?

You're right, the artwork doesn't travel with a burned CD. You could probably find the artwork on other sites besides iTunes. Amazon has a ton of artwork. If all else fails, you could make a print screen of the artwork in iTunes and use photo editing software to crop it for your player. I'm an artwork junkie too.....I can't stand it when I have a project in my digital library without it.

As for question number two.....
You're right... iTunes doesn't work with any other mp3 players besides iPods, but there is a way around that.
You make a playlist of your favorite Songs
You can open the mp3 player's folder (or get into it with realplayer or windows media player)
Select all the songs from your playlist in iTunes, and drag and drop them in the folder (or program)

Find the files on your computer, and drag and drop the containing folder (or the selection of songs) into the iTunes window. (Be sure that under your preferences>Advanced>General that you have 'copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library' selected) It should then add the mp3s to your iTunes library! (On Windows, iTunes will even convert wma files to mp3s when you add them this way)

Actually, I was talking about music purchased from iTunes, not CDs that you've ripped. If you want to rip CDs as mp3s then click on Edit > Preferences > Advanced Tab > Importing Tab and change the "Import Using" option to mp3 encoder.

Oh yeah....be sure to change the 'Setting' option to custom and select the highest bitrate possible (320).

iTunes Questions... - 
about iTunes is.....it will take songs from WMP or RealPlayer, but you can't extract a single song from iTunes unless you (like Adam said) burn it to a CD and reload it to the other programs! 
I, the L5 FAN LADY, did not have A Little Taste of Heaven even on my iTunes or WMP!!!
