DRM MP3s not supported

I am in the process of setting up a home audio system the SB looks pretty good based on reviews I have read the one gap is lack of DRM music e.g. iTunes. I can understand how this could be a big DRM hole so don't hold out much hope but downloading the server had the followign message.

Excerpted from http://www.slimdevices.com/su_thankyou.cgi

Apple Music Store
Music purchased from the Apple Music Store (.m4p files) is protected with a proprietary DRM and cannot be played back using SlimServer **until Apple provides the necessary hooks to third parties.** In the mean time, these files need to be converted to MP3 files (or any other standard file format) for playback on any Squeezebox.

Given that aple has AirPort/AirTunes (but can't stream likte th SB) I doubt they will divulge the IP to decode.

Looks like a good buy anyway and I will keep my fingers crossed.
