Just because it can be kept forever, and played on "mp3 compatable devices", doesn't mean its not wrapped in DRM.

If its wrapped in DRM, then Sony's SonicStage cannot transcode it to a format compatable with my minidisc player, which is classed as an "mp3 compatable device", purely because sonicstage transcodes it on the fly before uploading it to the minidisc.
