Worst DRM ever!
Hardly. It's the easiest to remove.
I suppose paying $63 is better that burning all those to CD and then reripping them to Lossless.
It's your time and your money.
But I don't see what's to be gained by ripping AAC to Apple Lossless. You'd want to take an AIFF file and rip it to Lossless. Converting an mp3 to Lossless would be like converting a jpg to TIFF. (Ok, maybe not, but it sounded good at the time).
And I thought I saw an option in iTunes to back up all your purchased music. That would be or include the protected files. Burn and rip back to mp3.
