Btw, you will not want such a "DRM", the encryption is done AFTER the

dont do it, you buys the files without DRM, and allthough this may be a
breach of contract etc, it is no circumvention in the sense of the
DMCA.
The reason iTunes Store's DRM has been tolerated by consumers is that
Apple shipped a circumvention device in the iTunes app - you can burn
CDs from the FairPlay files.
This mitigates the value-destroying nature of DRM to the point where
they can charge approximately 60% of the retail price of a CD album.
