  my friend just gave me a shitload of stuff to check out, but its saying i need his pass to listen to it on iTunes. how the fuck do i get around this? its bullshit!

  
  Uh, that's the nature of iTunes. Your boy should have sent you MP3s not purchased via iTunes but yeah man, iTunes is proprietary with their stuff very stringently.

  While this won't fix your problem I thought some people reading this thread might find this useful. This utility called OurTunes grabs music from iTunes shares instead of streaming it. It is open source and free, plus really small since it is written in java.
