I heard that they were going to stop using that w/e code that they had on it enabling people like me to add songs to their phones (non-Cingular that is), and I was wondering if i bought a song off of itunes right now if it would be protected??(aka cant transfer it to my phone)

ITunes DRM tracks are protected but can be unprotected using Hymn ( http://www.hymn-project.org/ ). It requires the use of an IPod. More information about the software, legal implications and procudure for unprotecting tracks can be found in the project's site/forums available from the link above.
Once you have unprotected your tracks (or if you purchased/aquired DRM free versions) you'll need to convert them to a format compatible with your phone. Your phone manual should show which audio files types are compatible with your phone. If it plays back MP3 files it would be a good idea to convert all you tracks to MP3 as most players support this format. Otherwise you'll end up having to convert the same track into different audio formats for different players. DBPoweramp Converter ( http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm )is a free download that will convert between many different types of audio files.

Any songs you have already downloaded are still protected by DRM. Also, the normal $1 downloads on iTunes are still DRM protected.
iTunes now offers a new service called iTunes Plus for $1.29, these songs are all DRM-free.

You can buy unprotected songs at higher quality for $1.29
I would not share them on p2p etc because the files do contain your buyer information that links back to you! The DRM free is so you can put it on portables and move it around on YOUR own devices. It's not meant to be passed around to friends, etc.

Hi. They have a new version where you pay $.30 more and the file is DRM free.
