Not so fast! I recently read an article on PC magazine onlne about how 
to close user accounts with many online services,. In the article they 
claim that if you first burn those mp3's to CD as audio files [which 
involves converting them to CD music file types] and then rip the 
resulting CD back to mp3 format files, it legally removes the DRM from 
them. They were specifically talking about Itunes at that point in the 
article.

So, now you have a way to maintain the usability of all those costly 
downloads. 8-)
