Can't decide which digital music player to go for, or which download store to use? DRM doing your head in? Apple has posted an interesting essay from Steve Jobs on the use of DRM in the iTunes Store, MP3 players and in the music industry as a whole. He's not a fan (is anyone?).

The essay is well worth reading:

"Though the big four music companies require that all their music sold online be protected with DRMs, these same music companies continue to sell billions of CDs a year which contain completely unprotected music. That’s right! No DRM system was ever developed for the CD, so all the music distributed on CDs can be easily uploaded to the Internet, then (illegally) downloaded and played on any computer or player."
