For example, I've tried every method of getting fairuse to work (and yes, I do mean EVERY method, except for the virtual PC, but it looks like it would be no different than just downgrading my current WMP to ver. 10 and going thru that whole process. and yeah, I'm this close to actually trying the virtual PC fix, I just don't think it'll work.) and the problem that I keep coming back to is that I can't individualize, or download music, because either Microsoft's individualization site or Zune/Napster forces an update of the IBX. Any thoughts on this?
