....without losing *all* the music I bought (that's most likely protected) from Sony? I am no longer a fan of Sony as the last few products I bought from the brand have failed after only a few months of use. I bought a Sony Bean Mp3 walkman last year and it sucks, but I have a ton of "purchased music" from the Sony Connect program that I don't want to lose, but rather transfer to an iPod. Is it possible to make this switch or am I totally screwed?

You can try ripping your purchased music in Music CDs, the ones that play on your home stereo. You could write about 20 Songs per CD. If you succeed, you should download iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes and then, insert the CDs you have burnt and import them into iTunes. First try with only one CD and if it all goes well, continue with the next songs.
If the whole process is succesful, you can get an iPod and put the music into it.
Remember, the music you have purchased will now be on mp3 format with no DRM. This would be fair use as the reason you did it is not at all commercial. But it will only be fair use if you still keep the music to yourself and your very close friends and people you know. If you start distributing the songs off of the internet, then it would be a copyright violation and not fair use whatsoever.

Unless the files have .mp3 as an extension they won't play on an ipod.
