When I was young I enjoyed drawing. Not artistic drawing, but diagrams and architectural drawings, often on graph paper. I thought that I could perhaps be an architect when I grew up. I remember once, when the only computer we had in the house was an already ancient Compaq “Portable” computer (the sturdy leather handle did little to relieve the back strain that carrying it could cause) with an add-on EGA monitor, I asked for a program that would let me create these sorts of drawings on the computer. I didn’t know about CAD (computer aided design) software at the time, and was ignorant that the CAD software of the day was expensive and wouldn’t work on our old PC. My dad took me to a local software store anyway, where it was quickly apparent that all I was going to find there was a DOS based painting program, with aproximately the drawing ability of Microsoft Paint. We left empty-handed.

iTunes is an excellent way to keep your music library organized and has one of the most popular digital music stores built in, but if you have an MP3 player that isn’t an iPod, you’re stuck managing its contents outside of iTunes, until now. I’ve identified some tools that can help you bridge that gap.
Note that not all digital audio players are capable of playing every audio format. They can all play MP3, but there are some that cannot play the AAC format that Apple prefers, and only iPods can play tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store that have DRM. Happily, Apple no longer protects downloads from the iTunes Music Store with DRM and provides a way to remove DRM from tracks you may have purchased prior to that change. With those caveats in mind, read on.
