Which neatly demonstrates why DRM is a bad thing - this guys choices
have
been brought down to "Apple" or "none". If apple don't
provide a solution,
the only option is to remove the DRM - and more robust DRM would remove
even
that option.



It will be interesting to see what effect France's insistence that iTunes
offer a non DRM-infected version of their product will have on Apple.

Airport Express then. It has analogue and digital optical audio output
which itunes can stream to. Has the added bonus of providing/extending
your wifi network, can bridge a LAN to wifi, and has a USB print server...
