Ok I buy my albums, i currently have 7 Meat Loaf Albums. Now heres the problem with copy protection.

I own a Portable MP3 Player. Now this means I have to record my albums onto my PC as MP3s and then put them onto my MP3 Player. This used to be easy. But now they are bring in stupid ideas that will make this illegal?

I mean MP3 players arn't cheap! And neither are Albums. And if I pay for the Album why shouldnt I be able to put it onto my MP3 Player? I dont want to lug around a Portable CD Player when my MP3 Player is half the size and half the weight. But now these copy protection rules are making it nearly impossible for me to do this simple thing.

I think that there DEFINATELY should be somewhere you can pay like 75p per track you want to download. This would put more interest into music and make it easier.
