The main reason that makes me consider it is that my 2002 Forester (which has a replacement audio system with no iPod integration) can play MP3 (or WMA, but whatever) data CDs, but not MP4s, and certainly not anything DRMed. So I can get these 128 kb songs with DRM replaced with 256 kb AACs, transcode them to MP3, and they will be copyable to data CDs for my car (the genius playlist feature is great for this, by the way) and still sound better, even with the transcode. (I think.)
(And I do not buy much; for me is is $8.40 so far - 1 album, a dozen songs - though obviously they are adding more every day, as last night it was $6.60.)
