OK......Are we done with all the legal mumbo jumbo ??
We should be
I found a very short tutorial on you tube explaining how to use iTunes to convert your music to MP3 format. It's in the preferences settings and gives you options on what format you want when sliding a cd in for ripping. The guy changed the setting to MP3, went into his library, picked a song, copied it within his library and it gave him an MP3 version of the song right under the original format.
Seems that if it's a tool they provide it's perfectly fine to use it.
