DRM Worsens Battery Life

Research has shown that playing music filed that include Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) worsens battery life up to 25% for portable music players. iPods, Creative Zen, and others all suffered in testing by CNET.

DRM alredy prevents you from listening to music on different devices, or listening to it on your PhotoBridge. It prevents you from listening to music on your free operating system like GNU/Linux. And now it makes your MP3 player work worse than before!

Listen to MP3's or other DRM-unencumbered formats like Ogg Vorbis. Your ears will thank you.
