A few questions regarding iTunes 8 preferences
I have some nagging questions regarding iTunes 8 (up to the current version). I'm a PC user, for one (thus my questions are in reference to the Windows version), and the first question on my hit list is, are there any differences in preference options between the Windows and Mac versions? I've never had the opportunity to compare, but going from 7.7 to 8, I've noticed some (glaring?) omissions in the preference options. One being I see no burn settings. I could be overlooking something obvious, but my eyes are telling me otherwise. There are import settings, but what about burn? This is not to say I'm a filthy pirate, but I still do like to create those things called music cds every now and then. Second, for the love of God, is there a way in iTunes 8 to turn off the Store links? I know 7.7 clearly offers an option to turn these suckers off. Is Apple that adament about luring users into iTMS? Also, I've skimmed some reviews here and there, and I've read things like iTunes 8 being able to create CD labels and importing files into a "wide-range of file-types" (CNET). Yet I've never seen any options like these anywhere in the menus (import file-types are still the same). I toy around with iTunes 8 at work, but I've been relying on the tried-and-true 7.7 at home. So in the end, am I just being a Windoz idiot, are are these questions legit? Thanks!

iTunes cannot create CD labels and it hasn't gained any drastic format support. Personally, I use variable bitrate mp3 since it's widely supported and virtually indistinguishable from the source with the audio equipment I have. I feel it's best to find one versatile format and stick with it instead of having to convert when buying a new machine or switching platforms.
Hopefully that answers most of your questions.
