Locked Music

To Whom It May Concern

I am disgusted with how iTunes locks music when you purchase them outright.

This is one of the reasons why I have moved to another music provider.

I have spent way too much money with iTunes, just to find that my old music is locked and unable to relocate them to another non ipod music player.

I'm now an pushed to purchase a converter in order to play music which I have purchased outright in the first place.

Apple - why can't you make things easy for people and just provide them with the goods without conditions?
