Just use FilesTube.comIt’s free, fast, straight DRM-free mp3, and no software is necessary.

But where do you pay for the files? I don't see a pay area? Please don't tell me you are one of these people on our lovely planet that expects things for free?

There is this “iPod compatibilty” thing. Anyway, I can’t seem to download any song, but I’m currently testing its web browser capabilities. I guess its ok, but does Opera + iTunes add up to over 180,000 kb? Maybe not.

Since I am a college student, I use this music service called Ruckus. I download the DRM-ed wmas, then convert with FairUse for WM, and tada! DRM free music! It was fun until WMP was updated. Now I’m waiting for the new FUWM release.

Very true, Ryan. But what I am trying to say is that they need to save time and resources and get rid of DRM. It’s a waste of time because, like you said, it WILL be cracked.

Tracks are DRMed protected. A waste, but possibly a step forward. If the MAFIAA supports this and it sinks, it should drill in the fact: DRM is COUNTER productive to everyone, even the consumer.

That's not to say that the DRM protection won't get cracked.
