iTunes isn't my favorite program either, but there aren't many programs
that I know of that will let you buy a video then listen/watch it on
your computer. Try for example, Untold Stories of the Er. Amazon Unbox
has it, and so does iTunes, but I haven't found it any other place. At
least with iTunes, if you have more than one computer authorized to play
it, you can copy between the 2. And the files seem like they are easier
to back up. With Amazon unbox, they use I think wma files, and since I
don't know how to backup the licenses, that presents a problem. Windows
Media Player 9 presented a way to backup license files, but not so in
the latest version. Now if there are other sources where one could get
videos, I'd be interested to hear about them, especially if they don't
use drm.
For those that don't know, Untold Stories of the Er is a tv show that
comes on the Discovery and Health channel. I think it's called Own
(o w n) now. Anyway, for me at least, it's a very interesting show.

exactly what I was after. I was aware of the format ".M4R", it was just
getting the thing on there that was driving me crazier than normal and
that's saying something.
Maybe it's just me but iTunes just escapes me why people love it so much.

David,
I'll trade you this for your knowledge on Image for Windows, lol. It froze
on me yesterday when I was trying a full backup.
Here is the basic procedure from memory.
1. Get an mp3 file of a ringtone; it can be anything, they claim up to
thirty seconds, but after I updated my IOS I couldn't get a thirty second
file to fit, so mine is around 20 seconds. You can use any audio editor
i.e. Goldwave whatever.
There are a bunch of conversion programs that will convert an mp3 file to
m4a. You need to convert it to m4a. I use the Agree Free mp3 to m4a
program.
Rename the m4a extension to .m4r.
Place the .m4r file in the folder which you'll find under your documents
folder, my music, iTunes, iTunes Music, Automatically Add to iTunes.
As long as you don't have the manually sync music checkbox checkbox checked,
you can now sync your phone to the computer and it will transfer the
ringtone to your phone. You then go under Settings, Sounds, and you can
select that ringtone for all calls for you can assign it to a specific
contact.
Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

In all honesty it is beyond my ability at this time, if anybody knows
how to do it please send along the information. Not only will I make
use of it but I will also post it on the server.
