not mp3 but AAC in Apple's QuickTime container format with DRM (m4p).  
And as far as I know (which is not very far anyways), they are the  
only large music site that uses AAC. This paper [1] explains how you  
can embed strong watermarks even in the decompressed audio data.  
Excerpt:
        ---
        This paper discusses the embedding of robust watermarks
        directly into MPEG-2 AAC bit streams such that the watermark can be  
detected in
        the decompressed audio data.

And these slides [2] describes a two-dimensional watermarking scheme  
that leads 50-100% detection after AAC recompression.
