iTunes allows you to burn bought music to CD (a limited number of
times) in unencumbered formats - something that's worth doing if only
to protect your investment. Doesn't that solve the DRM problem?

Incidentally, Windows DRM isn't able to cope with the concept of music
being served to multiple devices in a single home - which is
apparently why Sonos can't support that either.
