You said — Every time I search for anything in iTunes (music, album art, music licenses, whatever) the program sends me to the iTunes store and tries to sell me something I’m not interested in. Every time.

Ummm..., I’m not sure if you realize what you’re saying. Or perhaps I’m not understanding you completely...

Now, there is an “iTunes Store” and then there is an “iTunes program” that you use to play music and keep your music organized and so on.

I’ve never had the iTunes program” take me to web pages and/or other sites and/or try to “sell me anything”... It just does not happen.

HOWEVER, when I “walk into a store” — I do see “for sale” signs on the shelves, and I do see items that say “buy me now” as I walk down the aisles of the store.

I doubt if I went up to the manager and complained to the store manager that every time I “walked into his store” that he always had “for sale signs” staring me in the face — that he would think I was a “sane person”... LOL...

When you walk into a “store” you’re going to get “for sale signs”. If you don’t want them, simply don’t walk into a store. It’s that simple.

You can use your iTunes program everyday and never see a for sale sign or be asked to buy anything, as long as you don’t “walk into a store”. You use it just like any other music catalog and organization program that plays your music and you’re just fine.

BUT, to hear someone complain that they have “for sale signs” staring them in the face, when they “walk into a store” is sorta funny... if not “certifiable”.... LOL...

Well, it does it to me. iTunes links to the Web based iTunes store.
