You are my new bestest friend. Seriously, I do not use the iTunes Music 
Store. The one thing I liked about iTunes was getting podcast updates 
automatically, but I can just download those anyway.

As an update to the whole MythTV end of this conversation ;-) , I went a 
looking last night after my first round of errors on initial 
"./configure, qmake mythtv.pro, make" and found some tracks in the snow. 
I emailed the guy, but no reply yet. He was posting to the mythtv-dev 
list and got no reply. This could be over before it really gets started! 
In which case, I will look at Ubuntu or one of the others that claims to 
have MythTV working on Macs, if not Minis. Failing that, he said tucking 
his tail between his legs, OSX and the limited MythFrontend 
and...iTunes. Yesh.
