I recently installed I-Tunes on my PC. When I started it for the first time one of the questions it asked me was:
"Do you agree to share details about your library with Apple to see artist images, album covers, and other related informationin your library"
Is this good, bad, or indifferent? I can't see the images or album covers anyway, so I'm inclined not to give them permission.

Its good. It can also help keep the songs on an album in order. That's what they
mean by information.

Thanks Cody. That makes sense. I was thinking it was to track marketing data.

You can always change that setting if you don't like it, but I'd agree, it keeps your library in good shape.

Also, it won't be a privacy issue if that bothers you.
It just does what is in iTunes.

Thanks for the help gentlemen. I'm sure I'll have others.
