No, you cannot purchase iTMS music in Apple Lossles, just their
standard .m4p/.m4a AAC format in a
One word: QTFairUse. I was freed of the DRM infection years ago. That
said, the higher bit-rates being offered is a better step than the
DRM-free stuff, IMHO. Just wish they would sell all of their stuff in
(at least) Apple Lossless. I realize FLAC will never happen, but at
