Yeah, that’d be a nice option, though rough on those of us with small hard drives.

Welcome back, Bryan! smile

This could be nice, and it could get me to start using iTMS. If they put it in a lossless format with DRM (which seems likely), I might still sit out, though. Right now my policy is not to pay money for anything that is either encoded in a lossy format or includes DRM. I might be able to make an exception for the DRM provided it isn’t too restrictive and I could encode to a lossy format (which doesn’t seem likely), but I would have to think about it.

If it’s lossless DRM stuff that allows burning to a CD…

What I expect to be able to do with my lossless music is to keep the originals as backup, burn them to a CD, and rip them to MP3s for my iPod. If I can do all of those things with iTMS lossless, I would consider overlooking the DRM.
