Every few days they'll offer a good album for just a few dollars. I just picked up Coldplay's Viva La Vida album for $2.90 and 99 Classical Masterpieces for $1.99. There are a few songs/albums that are only offered on iTunes though so its nice to still have that option. Editing the files to make them DRM-free isn't TOO bad...

Basically you need to burn your iTunes music to a regular audio CD and then re-rip them to your hard drive as regular old MP3 files. There are also programs that you can download that will strip out the DRM from your songs. I was going to save that for another article. Yes, there are ways around DRM.

However, we have downloaded some things to iTunes and then Jeff did something or other to get them downloadable to the kids' generic mp3 players. So there must be a way, but yes, mp3 is much more user friendly and I'd rather avoid the hassle of conversion. Good to know.
