Yes, DRM sucks. But, that won't last for too long (in my opinion). Look at what hapened with EMI and iTunes! But, I'm guessing that few people here actually use iTunes/iPod... That's a shame. It is a benchmark on how a media player should work. It is seamless between home PC and portable device: syncing, metadata, playhead location, media management, UI, etc. That is what is missing on the IT. Tim
