I'm not sure about itunes, but I do know that at some point (and maybe even now), one could rip CDs with Windows Media program and there was a setting that automatically added DRM. This caused the user of these files many headaches later on, not realizing what they had done (that is, add the unneccesary DRM to their OWN files). -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87962 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
