"...provide replacement tracks without DRM along with receipts to prove the music has been legally purchased in the event of a copyright-infringement lawsuit" ---- YEAH because in this day and age you are guilty until proven innocent!

Or you could something like MuvAudio so you don't have to waste all of the CDs.

And, this is only ONE of the negative-consequences of using DRMed products (one that was repeatedly pointed-out by consumers, and consumer-rights groups... before, during, and after, imposition of this rabidly anti-consumer-rights technology, by the way).
Just wait, until you need to re-install (DRMed, "activation", protected) software... for any reason... and the software-vendor simply refuses to provide "authorization/activation-keys" for some product (...because the vendor suspects your copy is "pirated", ...or the software-company has, artificially, "discontinued" the product... as examples).
Or... wait until some copyright-dispute results in a court-order that demands that consumers (which have legitimately paid for "content") be actively denied access to a copyrighted-work (and, therefore, cannot be remotely "authorized" to access their-own property)... because of a court-injunction issued during some, third-party, court-case.
These examples are just some of the reasons why "DRM" (remote use-authorization/external-control) is so, incredibly, BAD for basic consumer-rights.

This is a very real problem. I purchased a few songs from MusicMatch which Yahoo acquired. After backing up computer and "upgrading" to the Yahoo! Music Jukebox these songs wouldn't play until the original media player from MusicMatch was re-installed. I also have problems with Rhapsody as most songs there come in .RAX and cannot be played in Windows Media Player requiring an addional piece of software to be installed on my system.
