Boy, is my face red! I have just found out that PureTracks is not going to
work for Mac users. The only people who can use it are Canadian Windows
users (or perhaps Mac users running VPC - I haven't tried that yet). And
yes, the only way you can get songs is in the Window Media Player format and
I don't know of any utility that can convert them to any Mac-friendly
format.

So it appears that only Canadian Mac users are out of luck. American Mac
users have their store and Canadian Windows users have there store. But
Canadian Mac users are hanging in the breeze!

And that is the first time I have heard that Canada is not business
friendly. What's up with that comment?
