Does anyone know if the plan on making a version for Windows 98 SE? What they have now is only for XP or 2000.

No, this won't happen. Despite what MS says about how easy it should be to take a NT app and to back port it to win ME (or 98 ), it isn't that easy. There are lots of subtle reliabity issues. Besides, Win 95, 90 and ME are all junk OS's and should be upgraded wherever possible. Seriously!
- iTunes is exactly the same as on the Mac, down to the fact that you have to first click anywhere on the iTunes window before you can activate any button. Kind of annoying when all other Windows apps behave in an opposite manner.
What you describe is called click-through. I really dislike click-through. Apparently Safari supports it. I wish it wouldn't!!
Since eugene said there are icons for it I'd say good chance,but the question is when.
it's questionable whether Apple really will support it. What does it say about the "superior" format when you have to bend over to support the "inferior" format?
I updated iTunes yesterday on my little PB, and it worked fine until I restarted my computer. Now, when I try to open it, it tells me "The folder 'iTunes' cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the 'Music' folder." That is, in fact, where the 'iTunes' folder is, and I don't know what's going on. Is anyone else having this problem?

My guess is they have a build ready to go with it they are just waiting and seeing if they'll need to. If they get enough demands or they feel they're losing out by not adding it they'll throw it in.
Given .avi movies with WMA haven't been supported in QT for forever though I wouldn't be surprised to see it never added.

Probably not, since iTunes is built with NT-specific API's. I wonder if the FairPlay DRM has something to do with it, too.

Maybe I'll just re-install it...

You have a problem mp3 in there somewhere. Find it, remove it, and try again.

Tell your friends they best convert those WMA files if they want to use them with iTunes any time soon.
