When you download a mp3 from iTunes how do you know what version you're getting?

If you search a particular song title it will list all the versions with artist and album. If you are looking for a particular version you can click on the album to read more about it or listen to a preview of the song. Is that what you mean?

I also find iTunes a useful way to discover new songs/ artists by following the "people also bought" links. If I feel like exploring a particular artist's catalogue the previews are handy for working out which albums might be more to my liking.

When you say version, do you mean version of sound file? If so, you can set your preferences to download whatever quality you want. Mp3's are pretty low quality. Apple's default is AAC (or some acronym like that), which is higher quality. I download in loss-less which is the best quality, but it takes up more space.

I also think I'm one of the few ITunes proponents here, but it works really well for me. Immediate access to all your songs, syncing to Ipods, apple TV, cover art, and organization all make it unbeatable in my opinion.
