[OPLINTECH] itunes on public computers

[Dan Will]

We don't use iTunes, it's too user specific. We use Floola, it's a single
executable that allows patrons to add songs to an iPod or any mp3 player.
Just plug in the iPod/MP3 player and run Floola & it will find the device.
Works for us.

the church that belongs to God and the public library that belongs to you.  
The public library is the great equalizer."

Hello...
We've had a request to offer itunes on our public computers.  Are any other
library systems offering itunes?  What issues, if any, have you encountered
after making it available?

I can forsee problems with DRM and also with patrons being lax about logging
out of their accounts after a session.  I'd like to know how other librarys
have dealt with these issues.
Thank you!
