I used to do it all the time before I switched to Media Monkey-- I would always convert the few items I ever got from the iTunes store as soon as I had bought them. Now I've ditched iTunes altogether, so it isn't an issue.
You nailed it. Yes, I have encountered problems with DRM files. Apple (and others) having ownership of MY music has always bugged me, and is one of the main reasons I abandoned using iTunes to manage it. I'm stuck using iTunes to synchronize my apps, but I try to limit it there.
Thank you for reminding me about Media Monkey. I used to use it, but had forgotten how good it is. You're a genius.
You know what the real problem is? ...technology overload. I forget things, because there are so many new options.
I've got several different laptops (literally have a stack on my desk, one on top of another, that I shuffle as needed). I've got Apple devices, and Android ones too. I have tried to master many different operating systems, while not forgetting the old ones (Win 9x, Win XP, Win 7, Apple's OS X, Linux/Ubuntu), and now Windows 8 is out. Of course, there's always freeware to test, and analyzing which commercial software to purchase. And it's not just Windows software any more, with free Apps and "payware" for Apple, Android, and Kindle too. I've got music in multiple formats, with tags that need organizing (mp3, wav, ogg), and I can't decide if I want to transfer everything over to FLAC. I've got various external hard drives, and trying to maintain a streaming network has complicated matters. With the new social media platforms that everyone expects (facebook, twitter, youtube, et al), there is so much to keep track of. With so many options for "cloud computing" (dropbox, google apps, etc.), what's the future for storing our data? Should I stick with DVD's, or go Blu-ray? Even trying to maintain entertainment seems like a chore lately (netflix, xfinity, blockbuster, amazon prime). How many pay services are worth signing up for before it becomes ridiculous? And then there is my most prized possession, my library of reference books. Do I really want to go digital??
...There's also household technologies, work stuff, and paying attention to our world around us (i.e. politics, theology, philosophy).
And, while I don't think I'm a dumb person, I don't seem to have "what it takes" at times. Maybe it's age? Maybe it's because, in the long run, none of it really matters? ...Not sure. But trying to live SIMPLY seems like a better focus, I think. Funny thing is, when I was a kid, I used to read dictionaries and almanacs for leisure/fun. Back then, I had dreams of "pocket computers" (before they existed). Now, I'm beginning to feel less like Spock, and more like a middle-age Mister Magoo.
