I didn't like the DRM thing, because I often burn mix tapes (cds) for myself (really, I do...they're different themes for different moods I might be in) and you never know when that song is just dying to be added to another mix, and suddenly you can't because you already put it on 5 other ones.

The entire idea of DRM is short-sighted, doomed to failure, and likely to just make those who play by the rules suffer.

With the improved quality...I'm much *much* more inclined to be pay. DRM free makes me happy.

Not that I’m in favor of piracy.
