Don't get me started.
I bought my first track off iTunes yesterday (to see what it was about). I
had to burn it to audio CD, then reimport it from the audio CD as MP3, to be
able to use it on my Palm Tungsten. I do understand why things are like
this, but when I cannot play music I have legitimately bought, I pisses me
off.

Another gripe. Having burnt MP3 music CDs, to play on my DVD player at a
party, I find my DVD player will only play CDs randomly, and not MP3s. So
wasted CDs (ah well), and wil be plugging laptop into hifi.
