		<description>I never knew iTunes was using DRM but that&#039;s the same platform that Spotify is currently using. I would predict that although iTunes is making steps forward their going to lose in the end now that Spotify is basically providing legal music piracy for very cheap. For more info check out &lt;a href=&quot;http://songsurf.wordpress.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;my blog&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infobarrel.com/Spotify_The_Answer_to_Music_Piracy&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; discussing Spotify.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t use iTunes for the very reason that it takes a lot of effort to download songs onto my MP3. I am glad that they are finally taking steps to accommodate people who don&#039;t own an iPod. I think they will get more business now.

		<description>it looks like the whole free thing isn’t that simple. 

I’ve seen people reporting that only US customers will be offered the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flash-on-tv.com/media-converter.html#141&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;DRM-free&lt;/a&gt; music yesterday .And the upgrade is a all-or-nothing prospect, which means you can’t choose which tracks to upgrade.

Also,I hope Apple gives more options on upgrading my original purchases. I have hundreds of music in my itunes library,and I&#039;m counting the money that will cost if I &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flash-on-tv.com/media-converter.html#141&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;update&lt;/a&gt; all of them!

So, I still use &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flash-on-tv.com/media-converter.html#141&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wondershare media converter&lt;/a&gt; to help me,it is much economical.

I&#039;ll just wait for Apple to carry out more actions</description>
