I use Linux so this isn't an issue.  I also use ogg for ripping my CD's as there is no DRM in ogg.  There is supposed to be DRM added to mp3 codec later this year.  I am still looking for a portable player that will play ogg files.  I know that IRiver has a couple of models.

That's all that Linux is good for:  running crapware and stealing music.

Oh, hum.  Yawn.

At least I know that in 3 years I will still be able to play my music on a new computer or over my home lan.

Of course WinXPpro wasn't good enough for work and I had to dump it for Linux.

If you read the article, you will have seen that the author had problems reading his own legally purchased files after having to do a re-install of his Windows OS.
