That is a pretty enormous downside!
Every piece of music I have bought in the last few years has been from the iTMS.
I think I am not alone in that.

That's why I won't buy ANY music from iTunes. Well.... the DRM & the fact that they don't sell quality encoded files. There are plenty of other choices out there which won't hamstring you like Apple does. I think it's absolutely horrible for a company to charge you for the music, but to then prevent that music from being played back on anything but their own devices. What if my iPod takes a crap, and I decide to purchase something else? If you think Microsoft had shady business practices.... Apple's DRM puts them to shame.

but we're talking about the NEW system with USB access
Yes. And also what if your iPod dies, and you decide that you no longer want an Apple product? With Apple's DRM, you are stuck using their hardware. They are actually being sued for this right now. I hope they succeed, too. Apple's DRM policy is completely unfair, and is clearly anti-competition.
