This is why I didn’t buy a Zune, because who knows what problems will develop in the future.

I bought a iPod because I have more protected files with the iTunes store. Not to mention, protected files are transferable to five computers, and your iPod alllows for the easy transfer of protected iTunes music/video files to other computer. Plus, its DRM system is less problematic than Microsoft’s. Although for some odd reason, it doesn’t allow you to use your iPod to transfer other songs on your iPod.

The best place to buy music legally is now Amazon.com MP3 Download store. No DRM restrictions there.

I like Napster - 192 kbps WMAs sound great. And when you purchase them they ARE locked with DRM, but Daniusoft’s WMA to MP3 (or any other format - including WMA) nicely removes ALL DRM from the file.

I still like cheap. I use MP3va.com.

As for legal? Who can say?. It's not breaking any US laws that I've read.

One 32 gig SC chip. All music whenever I want.

Can’t wait for the 32 gig microSD’s to consoludate the ones I use on my phone for music playing in the car.
