    ...the songs I got do not work in any other media player. I think this is some sort of restriction by Apple.

    Any ways around this?

    I'm looking for information to post here for others who have this same problem.

    I think Apple is pretty stupid for doing it.

    I pay 99 cents a song and I can't decide which media player I can use?

    Bypassing DRM is illegal. Apple DRM specifically prevents iTunes downloads from working in other apps.
