(10-27) 14:17 PDT New York (AP) -- Sometimes, I feel as if I'm the only person out there without an iPod. Rather, I'm the proud owner of an Archos Jukebox 6000. I bought it more than four years ago, shortly before Apple Computer Inc. released its first iPod.

My Jukebox can do most of what iPods do, and like the iPod of its generation it only does music. No photos. No video. The main exception is playing songs bought through Apple's iTunes Music Store; Apple has made it clear its iTunes service is only for iPods.

New software from United Virtualities Group comes to the rescue.

HotRecorder for Media converts your iTunes songs into standard MP3 files that can play on any MP3 device.

It also makes MP3s out of songs bought through Yahoo Inc.'s music service, in case you want to play them on an iPod, Jukebox or another device that doesn't support the copy-protection mechanism Yahoo uses.
