For music, DRM made no sense anyway. It's only purpose was to stop people from recreating an exact digital copy to foil counterfit CD's. Since most people ripped to mp3 with compression, they never got an exact copy anyway. After the inital years, copy protection was only used at the artist's request (EMI North America anyway).
Since you could always go analog to digital, trying to foil home copying or format conversion was a moot point anyway.
