If only Apple would license their Fairplay DRM to other companies then people would be able to play their music anywhere. But no, they would never do that because then that would allow you to use non apple players. Heaven forbid!
Steve Jobs is a smug asshole.

iTunes, has always been a rip off... same with just about every other music service. Emusic used to be good. Its definately not quite the same as it used to be, but still better than most. All DRM'less music. And its pretty trivial to rip the fairplay DRM of an iTunes file, if you so desire.
