I'm beginning to find a music alternative that's even more dubious than
iPod. It sounds like using Yahoo, you only get to stream your music
rather than download it - which means that you may not be able to
transfer it to any player. Even for pay services that allow transfers,
they require you to hook up your player to your PC every so often in
order to keep downloaded music playable. Have you been able to
transfer any of this music? This shouldn't be an iPod issue, because
iPod should be able to play anything that any mp3 player can play (once
you've also installed iTunes).
