The problem with buying music from the Apple Store, for iTunes, is that you’re limited to playing them only on a few devices.  So, what happens if you decide to purchase a new magical music device five years from now that may be better than your iPhone or iPod?   Remember vinyl albums?  Remember 8-tracks?  Remember cassettes?

In 1998 I started converting my library of music CD’s to non-copy protected MP3 files.   Shortly after that, I would only buy CD’s only if I couldn’t locate and buy and download music in non-copy protected MP3 format.  Since the late nineties, I’ve probably used a dozen different music players and though I’m currently using an iPhone,  it may not be the only music player I ever use.   In any event, I don’t want my music permanently teathered to my iPhone,  to Apple, or to iTunes.   That’s also why you may want to know how to copy unprotected non-DRM MP3 files to your iPod, iPhone, or Apple iTunes.
