As I recall, the music industry recently had some concessions from Apple 
  in return for allowing Apple to release songs without DRM. There were 
supposed to be changes in iTunes that allowed the new DRM-free songs to 
be automatically converted for end users.

I haven't looked into it too much because I haven't run into too many 
problems (and Apple traditionally made...allowances...to accidentally 
bypass DRM for people willing to invest a little extra time with their 
burners...).

Then again I use my iPod for apps and podcasts more than music...
