I believe the selection of DRM-free music is only limited to EMI.

and frankly, just burn Itune songs on to a CD and rip it back to MP3 format. it takes a while, but that can you do? It's DRM *sighs*

you know .. ummm .. you could just convert your itunes music to a CD then reimport to use anywhere .. been doing it for years to the point where i have even automated the process (via a mac).

You can also transfer the files using Sonicstage, using the 'PSP-transfer mode', just to make things a bit easier. Actually, that's not entirely true - it just makes it neater. Sonicstage can't really handle iTunes AAC tags though, so the songs' info doesn't show up quite right.

To some audiophiles, 256kb/s still isn't that great. I'd wish they'd go all-out and do 320.

hey i saw on engadget these songs are like 7-13 megs each! oh and i can already use my brothers songs he bought from itunes on my PSP. QTFairuse makes the .m4p to .mp4 (.m4p is the icon with the lock) it works great! :D

Actually, it works even easier. When you open iTunes, you can select the song you want to transfer, then drag the track to the PSP MUSIC folder. Works like a charm.

Another good alternative I've been using for over a year now is eMusic. Songs are more like ~.25, are DRM free, and have a better bit rate around 160-190.

Plus eMusic is a legitimate online store so you're actually supporting the artist, unlike other less-legal and more-Russian online stores.

If you are into electronic music, just ditch iTunes and the DRM, and go too beatport.com, they have just as much electronic music as iTunes even a lot of exclusive material, however the site only deals in electronic music.
