Everyone probably knows this, but you can generally extract and read the HTML files that make up an app's online help. For iTunes, you need to Show Package Contents on the app bundle, then go to Contents : Resources : English.lproj : iTunes Help : pgs. Same deal with iPhoto, and others.

Did I read this correctly? iTunes skips songs you bought at the music store in playlists? What's the use in buying music then?

It says, "If you're listening to all the songs in a shared library or playlist, iTunes skips any purchased music in the list. To listen to purchased music in a shared library or playlist, you need to double-click the song."

Perhaps it refers only to songs in a shared library, not to your own songs on your own computer. I guess we need a reader who has some purchased music to perform a test for us.

I've purchased a little music, and it is played no problem in various playlists. It also plays on my second computer via sharing, presumably since I've autheticated my second Mac as well.

"This information comes from Mac Help, the help system included with your computer."

See, we should read that more often ;-)

Purchased Music

It does not skip purchased songs in your library or playlist, only in shared playlists. The computer using the shared playlist also has to be authorized for the music purchased.
