There is good information about ITunes and their encryption here:

This came into play for me just the other day. I had been hyping
Squeezebox and Slimserver to my brother and he was ready to take the
plunge and give it a try. Then he mentioned, "Oh yeah, this will play
all the songs I've been buying on ITunes, right?" Grrrrrr [EMAIL PROTECTED]@$
Microsoft takes a ton of crap for their monopolistic practices ( M$ lol
etc), but I don't think they've ever really pissed me off as much as
this ITunes encryption does. I encourage everyone to spread the word
whenever they hear someone using ITunes to buy music. You not only buy
music, you are buying into the necessity to buy your hardware from Apple
whenever you want to play that music.
I've tried rationally explaining the issue a number of times, but it's
usually water off a duck's back, no matter how I explain it. So now I
just mock my iTunes using friends whenever they run into a problem. "I
told you so!" seems much more effective.
