My simple MP3 player is much more versatile for the dollar....

It certainly is and Amazon is a lot easier to get music from than
I-tunes. It is a one click thing.

Of course using UseNet is even easier and a whole lot cheaper ;-)

What I do is a little different than just getting published music. There
are tons of guitar instructional videos including full backing tracks
(minus the melody) on YouTube. I do a search for a song I'd like to
have and then record the audio from it using a simple but very good
program called "Audacity".
Audacity is a audio recording and editing program similar to Pro Tools
except it's much simpler to use.

Once I've recorded it, cleaned it up a bit (and even change the key it's
in if I want) I export it as a mp3. From there I can transfer it to
my music library on the iPad. The iPad (being so portable) is great to
play the backing track from with it's audio output connected to a
Fishman SoloAmp PA.
Works great and keeps me off the streets.



I don't go through any of that trouble, but there's certainly no problem
importing tunes via iTunes or other software onto an Apple device that
plays music.
