DRM Sux

Had my first encounter with DRM music. Bought the new Switchfoot CD and it wouldn't let me open it in itunes. It installed some kind of player software that only let me rip to wma files. Fortunately I was able to burn a disc from the wma files and then rip that down to mp3. Nothing like extra steps to make me happy.

You know that Tim Foreman from the band has posted a message (found here: http://forums1.sonymusic.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/716102313/m/5201067064
) talking about how to get around the DRM. Seems that Switchfoot themselves are horrified by the DRM forced upon them.

I figure most bands hate this drm thing because it makes them look bad. Nice to know they are proactive on a workaround.

Yeah but Metallica must be kissing the butt of whoever invented it.
