Can anyone tell me if I-Tunes has lifted the licence on it's music so i can play on different mp3 players.

they have changed protection on songs brought from iTunes shop but they are not MP3 encoded. I think the standard is AAC or some such. You can change the default encoding for cds you import to MP3.

You can do that but you'll lose some quality in the m4p-CD-mp3 conversion.... better to get a m4a compatible media player and do the m4p-m4a conversion (ie remove the DRM if it's there).....

I-tunes standard quality is poor to middling at best. Better to Rip the music from a CD.
