Thanks ddg, but I know how to do what I want. I may be the exception but I only have music I burned off CD's I purchased from Amazon or an actual record store and songs from iTunes.

It just pisses me off when I can't have them on my home computer, ipod and work computer without going through some backdoor (not that it's that complicated).

It pisses me off like a windows mobile device that MS activesync used to not synchronize with more than one computer. Just Stupid. People have more than one computer and one device.
