I am so effin irritated with all this copyright protection crap on downloaded music! I bought (yes, legally) a song on iTunes a week ago, only to find out it gets downloaded in some weird Apple Proprietary format. So, screw them. I’m going back to Musicmatch which interface I like better anyway. Bad thing is, Musicmatch won’t work with my iPod so I still have to have iTunes installed. Fine, I can live with that.
So today I download a song from Musicmatch and it’s in WMA. I’ll just convert it to MP3 beacuse iTunes has to have it in MP3 to send to the iPod. Wait a minute, if iTunes has to have it in MP3, why do you download in their weird Apple format? Anyway… I can’t convert it because it’s “Protected” WMA. So now my only alternative (I’ve tried like 4 converters on this thing) is to burn it to audio CD and then rip it back to MP3.
ARGH! Yet another example of how some rules hurt just us honest people. Anyone have a hack program that will ignore the protection?

RE: 76 Gas Station
I only went there the one time to find that they were cash-only. That, right there, is enough to loose my patronage. I want my credit-card airmiles!
