Yes, the option was there and I selected it…though it didn’t do any searching. It took me 10 minutes to find the little menu selection under Options…
Exactly. I have now discovered this. Overall though, it seems like a pretty good app. A touch laggy maybe, but I haven’t restarted my machine in ages so maybe I’ve loaded the memory up a tad bit(lots of programs open all the time).

iTunes won’t function properly without a restart, and the first time you add a bunch of files to it it’s going to slow down as it goes through the files one by one and analyzes them for soundcheck levels and the like.
I’ve loved iTunes on my Macs for years, and played with it on Virtual PC on my Mac at the office. It functions great for me, even on an emulated platform.
It sounds really good, though. Better than Musicmatch. And yes, I didn’t have any trouble putting my mp3 library in it.
Why limit this to Apple? Nobody’s software works right on Windows PCs. Blaming Apple for not making their software work right under Windows is like blaming everyone on Earth for living above sea level. 
Steve Jobs might be a bit of a goofball (how many CEOs would hold a media event while wearing torn jeans and dirty sneakers?), but he’s not the Messiah.
Just for the record, iTunes works nigh onto perfectly on my PC. So far, anyway. Much better than Windows Media Player.
It appears that iTunes for Windows is already affecting how the other online music companies do their business. Emusic will discontinue their unlimited music downloads and MusicMatch has indicated they are thinking about switching to the AAC format.
What makes you think eMusic’s decision had anything to do with iTunes?
