Flutterby™! : iTunes gets interesting

Wow! Okay, suddenly iTunes becomes interesting: The Register now reports that it's possible to play iTunes songs on GNU/Linux using VideoLAN. This is just a way to circumvent the cripple-ware nature of it, you've still got to have a Windows machine to download the songs and as a reference for the user key, but now that Charlene and I have a shared space in the living room that computer based music player is becoming more useful, and being able to legitimately extend our library in virtual form is attractive.
