I don't mind everyone arguing about price, but as we are on AUDIOgon, can anyone please confirm or deny the following:
1) Backing up an iTunes library to CDs to "re rip" into uncompressed files does or does not circumvent DRM?
2) Back up CDs can or cannot be played back on any CD player?
3) Are backup CDs and/or re ripped WAV files genuine "CD quality" and same in resolution as physical media?
If I can only back up lower resolution files which remain encumbered by DRM, than Apple is the new Microsoft, and iTunes is over for me.
