I'm not clear why.  The last CD I bought (other than directly from the 
muscians) was DRM protected so it was unpleasant to play in a computers. 
  The intertrack gaps would produce very annoying squeals, totally 
countering the comfort I would get from the music.  They literally 
sabotaged their own CD.

I seem to recall that like your experience with DRM documents, I ended 
up ripping the music off the CD so that I could listen to it on the 
computer without interference.  Like I said, that was the last CD I 
bought in a music store.
