I have my G5 at home, but a Dell craptop at work. If I sign in with the same iTMS account at work what happens when I purchase a song? Will I be able to play it on my G5 and iPod? Will I have to physically transfer it from the Dell or will iTMS know and download on my Mac, too? This I highly doubt, but would be very cool. Just want to make sure I don't need to purchase more than once.

Sorry if this has already been covered!

You have to manually move the file to each computer you want to play it on. I bought a song yesterday on my PC laptop at work, then when I got home just transferred it to my Mac. Slightly complicated, but not too much of a hassle.

I do it all the time. If I buy something while at work, I just log in to my home computer and drag the files to my mp3 folder on the home machine. When I get home I have to remember to add them to iTunes, but they play fine.

Actually, Podworks is the best way around this if you've got an iPod. Buy song at work, copy to iPod, go home, copy song from iPod. I think it's 5 or 7 dollar shareware.
