Which leads me to a question for you: have you actually received the Rokulabs player yet? I see they're still listed as pre-order and haven't heard of anyone who actually has one yet. Using the Lame -alt-extreme settings makes a 2nd gen file that is acceptable for my uses though. I know, I know, there's a loss of quality with re-encoding, this is simply what I do to solve the problem for now without going to the trouble of using QTfairuse or other methods. I play the original iTMS file when at computer and the 2nd gen file through streaming devices. I then label these files with an additional character on the album tag so I can tell which version is 2nd generation. This problem is irritating to me too, for now I simply re-encode iTMS files with Lame encoder (no need to burn a CD and re-rip). much to my displeasure and even more to my displeasure I have to use a PC for that. Unless Apple fixes that I will have to use QtFairUse to remove the DRM. The Roku Player is a streaming device so I doesn't store the files locally, this IMHO should be allowed on a local network, even with another Mac, someone should be able to simply listen to my Music Store music, but not be able to copy it to his comp. Problem is, it can't play iTunes Music Store files because of the DRM.ARRGHHHH!! While I have not problem with the DRM otherwise its limitations on streaming are friggin annoying. Owning a growing collection of iTunes Music Store files I recently decided to buy this nifty little streaming tool for my stereo system since hooking up a Mac too it directly was not what I wanted to do: While at first I was very critical of the QtFairUse hack under WinBlows I am starting to see the point of it.
