Shouldn't we be twenty years beyond this?
(Edit, Aug. 15:) I am such an idiot. The whole "playcount" thing, well, you can turn it off in the preferences, if you like. It's an option for sorting, right up there with the little star rating system. Sorry.
Did anyone else know that iTunes kept a "playcount"? Was anyone else aware that they -- the ever-present "them"-- were keeping tabs on which songs you listened to, and how often?
I need you to imagine this. A teenage girl (that's me) sits down at her computer, to listen to music; some of which was downloaded and not paid for.
Am I the only one this freaks out?

People find it necessary to hyphenate most everything.
Life is simple. It's people that make it complicated.
