As someone who just got burned by iTunes when trying to move my library to an install of Vista and who has purchased tracks from the iTunes store I am more than happy that Songbird supports FairPlay and WMA tracks. Its the only really viable option out there. MediaMonkey doesn't even play non-DRM AAC without a plugin (and doesn't handle tagging at all even with the plugin). JaJuk is just too ugly (and doesnt play FairPlay tracks).

You said:
"But I usually like to keep my open-source programs and my DRM separate. You know, by not using anything with DRM at all."

Good for you. However not all of us share your opinion and I'm glad the Songbird team doesn't otherwise I wouldn't have any option other than iTunes.
