After first seeing a review of it in a Macworld video, and starting some research myself, I've become interested in Logitech's Squeezebox Boom and might consider it in the near future. I found this video review of it by CNET, which mentioned something regarding issues with it playing DRM protected media from iTunes. If this device is unable to play music with DRM, then I would probably not consider it, as most of my library is protected.

I was wondering if anybody here has it and can tell me if it is unable to play protected music or not? On the product's page on their site, it says that it can play back:
Plays MP3, AAC, WMA, Ogg, FLAC, Apple lossless, WMA lossless, WAV, and AIFF music files
...but I am not entirely sure what is meant by this.
 
burn your purchased songs to a cd, then put the songs back on your computer from the burnt disk, and no more drm :D
I would, but my purchased songs are in the hundreds, so that may take a while (figuring I could probably only fit about 10-15 songs a cd). I have heard of one thing that you download that removes the DRM from your library, but it appears the latest version of iTunes (8.0.2) disabled it, so I guess I'm out of luck for now. And this is why I hate DRM, it hurts the people that are doing things legally, while doing very little to those who are doing things illegally.
