[P1] 9.2 vs the iPod

[Myers, Curt]

There is an itunes for 9.2.2.  I don't know how the pc version works, I assume you would have to use the jukebox.

Thanks, will do.  I take it iTunes is an X thing, which is why the 
requirement to upgrade to X.

But how come I can just drag them over from a PC, and have them work 
fine?  There isn't iTunes running on the PC.  It just seems like an 
odd asymmetry to me.
