In defense of the iTunes Music Store, all of their music is now DRM-free as well, and the AAC format is nowadays almost as ubiquitous as MP3 in terms of hardware support (the Kindle is a notable exception). Since the headphone jack on my iPod stopped working, I've been using a SanDisk Sansa player to listen to my music collection, about two thirds of which is from the iTMS (the remainder coming from CDs or other music stores).
