I have been searching for a iTunes client. i.e. a player that I can play my iTunes on. Does such a thing exist? Is there an iTunes client that can connect to the iTunes store? 2. I want to import my Oulook express folders to Thinderbird. I know it can be done on windows, but when I try the impirt feature (running Thunderbord on FreeBSD), there is no option to do this. Is there a way? -Grant
