# Wow, lovely stuff Toastie!
The Album is great - I would purchase it on iTunes, but due to their cuntish and frankly ridiculous policy of not allowing you to use your purchased music freely, I shall aquire it elsewhere.

# oo - I thought iTunes had abandoned DRM now?

# Really?
Is this a new thing? The last music I bought from iTunes was in December 2009 and last night while restoring my iPod (AGAIN, YOU APPLE FUCKERS) I had to "authorise" my computer to play the music I had paid for. Cunts.

# hmm, I dunno then
I read they'd stopped doing protected AAC (.m4p) in April last year and they just do .m4a now

# They introduced "iTunes Plus",
which were more expensive, better quality, DRM-free tracks.
Most tracks are Plus now.

It's still not as good as, say, 7Digital, who often offer FLAC (lossless) and MP3/AAC, with the option to re-download tracks if you manage to lose them somehow.
