iPod weirdness

I just grabbed some MP3s from a cool band I helped film for the Rock Candy Show last night. They play in iTunes just fine, but I can't drag them onto my iPod; the iPod icon within iTunes simply and silently refuses to act as a drop target with these tracks, and these tracks alone.

Wha? Is this some kinda wacko DRM I haven't encountered before?

Just curious

Are any of you planning on purchasing (or have already purchased?!) a PS3?

If so, why?

Even though "everyone" I know has a PS2, it looks like its successor is gearing up to be the next XBox - something for the vast blob of Madden/Halo dorks that aren't part of my tribe, and that's basically it.
