Donagh - I think Apple are forced into the DRM by the recording industry, tbh. Steve Jobs has spoken out against DRM in the past. Keith, The Last Word put up their older shows for download afaik. Mark - <blockquote>Nearly swerved into a ditch during the drive home because of it</blockquote> oooh - so close, next time hopefully you'll hit the ditch :-P Thanks for the kind words guys.

Apple's iTunes did help remodel the music industry, but Apple's usual policy of protectionist to the use of their own products has caused me to buy anything but iPod. I have bought music from Eircom and iTunes and created Audio CDs to rip them back as unprotected MP3's so I can use them easily on my Archos AV jukebox... It may well cause a sizable hiccup for Apple, BUT the Music Industry will need to change it's attitude. Similiarly the Movie industry are starting feeling this...... you do have a radio voice…what it takes to get me to listen to Matt Cooper.
