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).
The m4p's iTunes used to sell are already compressed lossily, so burning them and ripping to mp3/mp4 would degrade them further. I burn to cd and rip to lossless to avoid any further damage.
