First you must define rundll problems. That's a common program error
and can usually be solved by updating the software causing it. Any
registry cleaner app _might_ fix the issue. Like the freeware Easy

You should be fine with your MP3's. Just keep them as MP3s. The only
things that gets bad DRM are most purchases from the iTunes store. Buy
either the non DRM iTunes or other non DRMed vendors like Amazon.com.
Accepting DRM was the only way apple was to get vendors to allow them to
sell. Now

Sorry I wasn't clear. When you first run iTunes it will ask if you want
iTunes to manage your music or if you want to manage it yourself. Letting
