Perhaps you can get one off eBay?I would.. But, the ole gal didn't come with restore media!
Are you sticking with an older version of iTunes for a reason, or have you just not upgraded yet? By the way, nice background!
iTunes 10.6.3 is actually on there but I never opened it yet so the icon has not updated. I tend to use Spotify for streaming so I do not need to waste space on my PowerBook with the library of music. I mainly use that machine for forums and coding.
I use Spotify for all my music needs as well. I just really hope Spotify doesn't pull the plug on PowerPC support any time soon.
Since it is all server based, they could. I know Spotify Radio does not work on the PPC compatible client anymore.
I have enough faith in this community, that if Spotify chooses to do such a thing, the community will find a workaround.
The closest workaround would be a WebKit based application that uses the online version.
Google J-Class, Menorca, 2014 and plenty of dramatic images pop up including this one.

I get my wallpapers from the J-Class Association's website here: http://www.jclassyachts.com/galleries
You can find pics grouped by events or by individual boat. The two in this pic are the Ranger (white hull) and Hanuman.

My desktop
I have several main computers, which isn't the best habit, but here is the dual-screen set-up on my PowerMac G5. First off, I keep a few applications open all the time, which sit in their spaces on the left screen (such as Text Edit, iChat, Stickies, etc.). [iChat hidden for privacy reasons]. If I am multitasking between using the internet and typing, say, an essay, I'll move my Webkit window over to the left screen.
On the left screen, I have this 'G5' wallpaper which I found online... not sure who made it. On the main screen is a picture of part of my Mac collection.
My dock is pretty full---Besides extra applications, I usually keep Mail, iChat, web browser, Text Edit, Pages, iTunes, YouView, Preview, Dictionary, Calc, Disk Utility, Sys Prefs, Terminal, and Activity Monitor on my dock.
I still like traditional fullscreen monitors better than widescreen ones, as far as MOST things go.
Just in case anyone was wondering, the left screen is an older 15" Dell Ultrasharp and the main screen is a 17" Apple Studio Display that was from my 2003 (FW-400) MDD.

My Mac Pro at work
Yes, I know, this is a PowerPC thread, but I have used all of these at one time on my PowerPC Macs and the Quicksilver at home has two out of the three already so that's how I'm justifying this.
Note: For the eagle eyed, the app I took the screenshot in had no open windows so it made it easy to hide all the other apps from there and grab the screens. If you care to know, IP Messenger is a PowerPC/Intel/Windows app for messaging. Generally works on a LAN. It's one of the first pieces of software I installed around here in 2004 and has allowed us all to message each other internally.
I did NOT use any IM apps (iChat, Skype, Yahoo Messenger, etc) because that would have required creating accounts. IP Messenger simply identifys you by IP address/machine/user account. You can label it though so it's more user friendly.
Just in case anyone was wondering what that app is.

This is my current desktop... using wall saver and marine aquarium. It moves around. It runs like a beauty on my g5.
