And to qualify the above you can't listen to music purchased from the
iTunes store in it's native format on just any digital music device.
It's funny how Mac users always complain about proprietary formats from
Microsoft but when Apple does the same it's nothing but excuses and
support from these very same people. I have an iPod because it works
great but I'll never buy from the iTunes store. Having to jump through
hoops to play the songs on other devices is bullshit.
