Yes it does.

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.
But then you are having to convert the files to get them to play - which means the service you are downloading them from does not supply files that play on 'mp3 compatible devices'
