It was in the aftermath of Napster and record execs finally started to understand this confangled contraption called the Internet.

You completely own it. I'm not that familiar with Zune, but your problem might be that it is not compatible with the format that Itunes downloads to by default (AAC Encoder), but if you go the Itunes menu>preferences>Import settings>Import using, you can choose whatever format you want: mp3, lossless, or whatever, and those are universal formats, so I would assume one of those formats would work with Zune. You can also convert anything already in your itunes to any equal or lower format. In other words, you can go fro lossless to mp3, but you can't go from mp3 and turn that into lossless. Good luck!
Itunes gets a lot of flack around here, but it is a very powerful program that will let you do pretty much whatever you want in whatever format you want with your music. Personally, I think listening to music (in lossless format) through my itunes (which is hooked up to a receiver and real speakers) is unparrelled.
