using my free 3 months

thanx ....

i see how to "download" from my i tunes store / library...which is all set on my PC ...

for me, and realize this is Not how many, if not most, do this...but ...

i download, then get the music onto my Ipod and play via my sound system (or vehicle, etc)

all my "older" devices work fine, so that's my route ...

that said , my library contains ALL my music ...

my old albums / cassettes / cd's all were painstakingly added to the i tunes library, so i could use how i wanted ...

the window that popped up when i attempted to "download" my unlimited music, from a recent purchase,

indicates a "merge" of my current library, w/ i cloud ... which is sort of foreign for me ...

i understand that my purchases from the i tunes store, over the past few years, are also in the cloud ...however...

what of all my "other" music ?!?

other online purchases, cd's etc already mentioned .....

i'm concerned of a potential problem with all of it, when synching my classic or nano etc

as i have had "issues" previously

thanx

so, should not be surprised .... i'm old too ...

do i guess correctly ...the music i could get into my library (3 mos stuff)

i would not be able to burn to a CD ?

thanx
