    I thought I had heard Apple dropped the digital rights a while ago, too. I wonder if you could re-download your media without digital rights
    management?

    Apparently it depends on wether the tunes are from iTunes Store, iCloud or Apple Music. :(

    I only ever purchased from iTunes, which hasn't had DRM for many years.


    ... Can anybody think of a good tagline I can steal?

    And it's also very nice that you can still access the iTunes Store
    whenever you want (no $ub$cription required) to get a fresh download of previously purchased material should you ever need that.

    Yes, that's quite good, if something goes wrong.
