[cite] Puttabong:Huh? You can disable the store? I don't have anything related to any commercial things in my iTunes And I love it -> However, back to topic, there are a few: Songbird, Yamipod, Floola, JakPod & reTune

How do you get album info without signing up for an account?

Field Note #2 @HCE 2008-03-04

Use GimmeSomeTune (Free). It will display album artwork for you(and it really works), and even lyrics for songs. I know, it's a third party app, but you can set it to open and close with iTunes, and it rellay doesn't take that much memory, around 13-15MB.
