[nabs-l] iTunes music on Victor Stream

Sat Jan 10 17:01:50 UTC 2009

Apple's iTunes will begin selling music files with no digital rights
management (DRM). I think they will be in mp3 format since amazon's mp3
store was also mentioned in the article I read.

The Victor Stream does not support AAC encoded files from iTunes or from 
anywhere else.  The are Apple-not-sanctioned means of removing the DRM from 
iTunes music so that it can be played back on non-Apple music players, but 
the Victor Stream doesn't support the underlying format.
