I don't like DRM at all, particularly for music. I didn't buy any DRM-protected tracks from any provider until iTunes released iTunes+. I felt that the tide had shifted and that the end of DRM was guaranteed, and simply a matter of time. I've been planning that I would "upgrade" all my music as soon as the option was available, and I did. Note, the DRM isn't the only thing. You also get a 256kbps AAC file, so higher quality as well. @Doug,

I hate DRM, too, but I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay that much... Did you really pay $161 just to get rid of DRM? I hate DRM, too, but I’m not sure I’d be willing to pay that much…

With screen shots and all. PS - You are always copying my theme! Get your own theme! :-) @Raanan,

You inspired me to write a quick “How To” for the simple playlist to track DRM content. With screen shots and all.

I've been purchasing DRM free music from Amazon for a while now b/c of the Apple DRM issue. By the way, how did you "...track DRM in my library with a smart playlist." ? p.s. we seem to be running the same theme again -- this happened once before :) Cool.
