I posted pretty much the same thing in the avsforum today.  Someone was
complaining they could only get their m4p audio on their ipod.  They
had another player that of course wouldn't accept it.  I suggested the
hymn project as a solution, I think he chose to copy to CD and then rip
mp3 from the CD as a work around.

My arguement is simple.  Generally, when I buy a CD the music is mine
to play wherever, whenever and on whatever I want.  There is no reason
my digital music purchase should be any different.  Especially when
it's priced almost identically.

Music is a form of entertainment.  If the format that entertainment is
offered to me limits my ability to be entertained when and how I want,
it should have a different pricing model.

So I buy itunes music sometimes (although I wish they'd offer
lossless..I'd buy more).  I rip out the DRM.  I listen to the music
wherever, whenever and on whatever I want, and contrary to the DRM
police's opinion of a typical consumer who'd dare to control their own
content...I don't give it away.
