FWIW, my wife, who was a meat-eater agrees with Wojtek. She believes that meat is mostly about the texture and similar senses, rather than the burst of flavour one associates with onions, tomatoes, beets, spinach, etc. This has no bearing on my argument, just an anecdotal bit, FWIW. For that matter, I don't find any great flavour in various kinds of beans, gourds, etc.

You are right. And in fact, you can skip that intermediate step with the CD by using a free software for the Mac called FairGame (http://seidai.50webs.com/Seidai%20Software.html ). There are other similar tools as well, both for Mac and Windows.
I recently heard that Apple is planning on going non-DRM for their downloads.
