I don't mess much with iTunes. I mainly use it for Podcasts. But since the announcement of iTunes Plus a lot of people have been looking forward to downloading music and playing it back on their N95.
It seems that there have been problems. The file once downloaded wouldn't play on the N95. Or other phones tried, either. You can see more here As ever when there are problems, pretty soon someone comes along with the solution. And riding to the rescue here is Joshua King from Tech Transit. Check it out here
For myself, I'm happy to stick to ripping CD's, downloading podcasts, or downloading proper DRM free music. That all works fine.

there seems to be a common misconception that people who use iTunes have tons of apple's DRM files on it that can't be synced to anything.
None of the people I know have ever bought any DRM'ed tunes from the iTunes store. We've all been using it to rip our CD's to the better quality AAC format and for the smooth operation iTunes offers, inspite of its annoying non-standard use of tags and that it doesn't store your rating in the tag.
The result of this is, that you get lots of comments from people that you can't sync iTunes to anything but iPods, and that they'd rather rip their own CD's to mp3...
Really, I've tried every other mp3 player alternative on the PC, and they're all clunky in comparison.
Ripping CD's to M4A and getting iTunes Agent to sync with your various players and phones seems well worth it.
cheers
