I took the liberty to convert most of my precious purchases to  
mp3.

However, if you have downloaded copies of your purchases, they  
should still play fine irregardless what iTunes does; you don't  
need to be signed online to play local downloads.

I never used their movie service, so I wouldn't know.  Maybe  
they are phasing out the movies ever so gradually. Do the movie  
downloads work the same as the music and you get to "keep" and  
play the movie any time you want without being connected online  
and NOT require logging in to watch?
