I have been using their Script Talk for years. The pharmacy puts a small RFID chip on the bottle and a small handheld unit reads the information to you. All information printed on the label is available on the chip. There is no charge for either the reader or the chip on the bottle.

Hi Dan, You don't "download" but "add" music to the iTunes library. It doesn't matter where your music is, but keep in mind that once you add a file or folder with music files to the music library in iTunes, the music will not longer play if you later move the files or folder to a different
