Mac OS X at first had a music folder icon in the finder window sidebar, also all macs came with optical drives.

That icon was removed several years ago. You can enable it but its not there by default. Most macs dont have optical drives anymore.

My mac and my ipad are constantly griping that they cannot reach the itunes store. thats because i often have no internet connection. im more productive that way, see.

Enriching the corporation is not what music is for. I can earn some goodmoney as a coder but to be honest I find playing piano for tips to be a far mor satisfying experience.
