Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the DRM also what tells the iTMS that you own the song? If you strip out the DRM before it even gets attached wouldn't you also be giving up your ability to re-download the song for free if you accidentally kill your library?
While I'm not a fan of DRM, one of the only good things about it is that it acts as insurance if you lose your songs. This method of removing it also removes your insurance.
Another vote for anything Targus. My powerbook took a trip down a flight of stairs in my Targus bag (mine's a briefcase style bag) and sufferred no ill. I've also landed on top of the bag without hurting the computer inside (that's saying a lot. You don't want me landing on you).
Another important factor is that the strap is well made and solidly connected to the bag. It also doesn't slip off your shoulder.. even when running.. because of a nice non-slip pad in the right place.

Seems to me six months on duty, away from the Internet, just might be the cure for this terrible illness.

The reason I keep all of my music on my computer is because it's NOT like flipping through my CD collection.
