The MSN Music store _uses_ , not _is_, PlaysForSure. Unfortunate for customers of MSN Music, though. The title of this article is misleading.

I have ALREADY can't use the stuff I got on iTMS because of DRM. I will, at some point, burn it all to CD and reencode it and lose some of the quality of the track, but thems the breaks. AmazonMP3 is my new service. I'll get anything on there. I just wish they would do gift card like they do on iTMS. I didn’t buy any so I lose nothing.

Beyond that - I'm glad I never bought anything from them.
