How to Download BearShare to iTunes
The BearShare file-sharing program allows you to download premium music, which can be played on your computer but not in iTunes due to the copyright protection on songs that contain the protected Windows Media Audio (WMA) format. According to the official BearShare website, you can get around this compatibility issue by first burning the WMA songs to a CD and then importing the CD into the iTunes program on your computer. During the importing process, the tracks are converted into an iTunes-compatible audio file and stored in the Music section of the program.
