Dude, if it's lossless just fire up dbPoweramp (or similar) and convert it. Lossless without DRM means that all lossless formats should be equivalent (all can be converted to your format of choice). I came on here to say "Wooohoo!". This is great for people who want to buy single tracks or have the convenience of a download. Late at night I like to browse iTunes resisting the temptation to buy DRM infected muck (I don't always succeed). Now I can have lots of fun. We just need to get farer UK prices. We also need variable pricing so old stuff can be bought cheaply. I went to www.fopp.co.uk (the physical shop) yesterday and bought a 25 track double album compilation with quite a few good tracks for £3. Try doing that in iTunes! Part of the reason I bought the CD was to get Needles and Pins which I love but only had as an iTunes DRM purchase. I'd also like an upgrade to lossless on the tunes I have bought from iTunes. In short the journey isn't over but this is the beginning of the end of DRM and I could start to look forward to the day when I no longer have to buy my CDs (I only rip them anyway!).
