It *is* an encrypted volume -- your home folder, which is where (in Mac 
OS X) *all* your personal data goes. The only things not protected by 
this level of encryption are the apps and system. Everything related to 
any personal data (like your passwords, preferences, files you've 
created, picture/music libraries and so on) are in the Home folder.

I have about five personal codes I use at random. The keychain, of 
course, makes this all a lot easier.

The iTunes Music Store has sold five MILLION songs in two months, more 
than all other legal download services have sold in TWO YEARS. If they 
can maintain that average over the course of a year, Apple will sell 
more music than any other retail music source. And that's BEFORE you 
add in countries outside the US, and Windows users. Woah.
