Wahhhhhh...DRM...Wahhhhhh. I have no problem with DRM. It plays in iTunes, I can stream it anywhere in my house, it plays on my iPhone and iPod. If I want to burn a CD, I can burn a CD. It plays on my iMac G5, G4, and PowerBook. The only reason people don't like DRM is because they can't steal it from their friends, or give it away to their friends. Of course all they have to do is burn it to a CD.
I still buy CD's from my favorite artists, for the uncompressed audio. Then I can rip it at a compression level of my choice, or use Apple Lossless. However, I couldn't really tell the difference between Apple Lossless and AAC at 256.
I just like the alleged alternative of buying DRM free MP3's from Amazon instead of iTunes. You are better off buying the CD and ripping it yourself rather than buying a lousy sounding MP3 from Amazon.

1 - what rubbish. DRM means I can't play music on my PS3, Xbox 360, PSP, or any other non Apple device. Plus the quality of Apple DRM music is poor and DRM music has a maximum number of computers it will run on before it breaks. If you're fine with those restrictions then have fun, but an increasing number of people are getting hurt by them and are waking up to just how crazy they are.
2 - The quality of Amazon MP3s is just fine, and vastly higher than Apple DRM music. Plus it's cheaper and I'm not buying a physical product I will never use and will just end up in a land fill somewhere.

I like to buy actual CDs and import them. Can I get the extras for free? I better!
You already are getting them for free when you buy the CD, it is called the liner notes booklet.
