Back up iTMS music with iTmsBackup

Once you buy enough songs through the iTMS (I
think it's around 200), iTunes will give you a reminder/warning that you really should backup your purchased music (not to mention all your other important stuff). But... how does the average user do it?

If you're a .Mac user, Backup is certainly an option. Though some users tend to not like that it compresses all the files you back up into a little database, of sorts. There's also Apple's own Knowledge Base article I blogged a while back about burning backup discs right from iTunes.

I just stumbled across another option – an open source app by the name of iTmsBackup. It's a simple little app that allows for backing up iTMS tracks either to an external drive or to optical media. It looks like the app hasn't been updated in a little while, but therein lies the beauty of open source. I *think* this should work, even on the latest versions of iTunes.
Anyone care to sound off?
