Some are iTunes DRM and some are ripped from her own CDs.  P2P is not
permitted in the house (and is blocked via OpenDNS). She is not trying to do
anything illegal.

See below. That is not why she wants to switch. (By the way, software that
crashes because a PC is "misconfigured", whatever that means in this
context, is bad software. In any event, iTunes routinely crashes on all 3
PCs we've tried it on.)

She wants to switch because she has used both extensively (her brother has a
Zune) and prefers the Zune. 

But perhaps she can be saved. If you can list the reasons why she is
mistaken, I will pass them along and set her back on the path to
righteousness. Just be sure to base your comparisons on the Zune 80, not on
the original 2006 model.
