Neat!

I was going to suggest that one can open Mail then click on:

"new message"

"attach"

in upper RH field of new window enter name of tune. You could also enter "iTunes" then search the results.

click tune name once to highlight, then click "ok".

But your method is much quicker!

Thank you for mentioning copyright Allen. Granted I'm not overly familiar with copyright as it applies to online music sales, (and exactly the difference between "owning a song" and DRM as it applies to online sharing) but if one purchases tunes through a legitimate online reseller, I'm pretty sure that although it's likely a small one, a percentage of that sale goes to the artist.

IMO, distribution of tunes w/o compensation to the artist is not cool. Especially via the 'net. In theory, say with a popular song, this action can happen many times, in mere seconds. I have no doubt that CD sales are waning or basically dead. Thank goodness people like Apple have stepped up and offered a way to purchase tunes legitimately.

Address it, put in a subject (Here's the Song I'm sending you), and hit send. You're done! (This assumes you're using the native mail app on your Mac for email, not a browser-based web email portal. Though the dragging from the desktop would probably work there too. It also assumes that you own the copyright for the song; ie no DRM.)
