finally succumbed and bought an Ipod - Itunes has converted all but 299 of my wma library. The 299 have DRM protection - is there any way to bypass this? I can still play a proportion of these 299 on my old creative player but some were buggered when I copied the music off my old desktop PC made worse by the Creative crashing and needing a hard reset
any ideas?

yes but I should add:
some files won't play in Windows Media Player and and only play on the creative Mp3 player
I need some (don't mind paying for it) software that will strip the DRM completely without the original DRM keys being present

Draconian Restrictions Management is a pain.
Let's hope in 10 years you can convert from the proprietary iTunes format to whatever is new.
The moral of the story - avoid anything with DRM on, it's for their profit margins, not your enjoyment.

Even if they won't play in windows media player you may still be able to write them to CD. That's the best option. It's what I do with any DRM files I get so that I have a non DRM version that I can do whatever the hell I want with.
