It feels creepy to me to have files on my computer with my name embedded in them ... so here is a solution. Using Jhymn, you can remove the name atoms from the iTunes Plus tracks.

[robg adds: Over on playlist, Chris Breen covers another way to remove the personal information: use Rogue Amoeba's $32 audio editor, Fission. Personally, I don't have an issue with this, as there are a ton of other files on my machine that have much more sensitive personal data embedded in them -- a few songs from the iTunes Store with my name and email address don't worry me too much (and yes, I've read about the conceptual malware that involves a piece of evil code uploading all my iTunes Plus tracks to P2P networks, thereby causing me grief with the RIAA. I'm not going to lose any sleep over that one...]
