Re: iTunes now "All DRM Free"



I had a former editor stay with us earlier this year, and he had 
iPod/iTunes 
with him and on his maclaptop.  When he downloaded a number of tracks to 
my 
media server (PC,XP SP3, the lot) they were all off-balanced to the right 
a 
bit.  It drove me nuts until I faulted the files themselves.  Do iPod 
users 
get this a lot?  It would seem like the kind of 'copy protection' they'd 
build into the system.
