DRM WMA download sites aren't bullying you into anything. You can use
any of dozens of MP3 players to play their DRM WMA files.
On the other hand, only iPods will play iTMS's AAC downloads. Apple is
the one "bullying you into buying" their player.
And I, along with many other Zen owners, are very happy with our Zens,
thank you very much. On CNET.com, the zen players get a rating of 8,
which is the same rating as the iPod, so they must not *completely* suck.
