Neat! I was going to suggest that one can open Mail then click on: "new message" "attach" in upper RH field of new window enter name of tune. You could also enter "iTunes" then search the results. click tune name once to highlight, then click "ok". But your method is much quicker! Thank you for mentioning copyright Allen. Granted I'm not overly familiar with copyright as it applies to online music sales, (and exactly the difference between "owning a song" and DRM as it applies to online sharing) but if one purchases tunes through a legitimate online reseller, I'm pretty sure that although it's likely a small one, a percentage of that sale goes to the artist. IMO, distribution of tunes w/o compensation to the artist is not cool. Especially via the 'net. In theory, say with a popular song, this action can happen many times, in mere seconds. I have no doubt that CD sales are waning or basically dead. Thank goodness people like Apple have stepped up and offered a way to purchase tunes legitimately. < steps off soap box > :) Neil.

Click on the song in iTunes and (while holding down the mouse or trackpad button) drag it to the desktop. Let go. Then quit iTunes and drag the icon from the desktop to the Mail icon in the dock (postage stamp). When the Mail icon darkens and pops up the name Mail, let go of the button. > �A new mail message will open with the MP3 file attached. Address it, put in a subject (Here's the Song I'm sending you), and hit send. You're done! (This assumes you're using the native mail app on your Mac for email, not a browser-based web email portal. Though the dragging from the desktop would probably work there too. It also assumes that you own the copyright for the song; ie no DRM.) -- Neil n 65 kb image Myford Ready For Assembly �http://tinyurl.com/64sx4rp '81 VanaJetta 2.0 "Jaco" �http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/ Vanagon VAG Gas I4/VR Swap Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/vanagons-with-vw-inline-4-cylinder-gas-engines
