"It’s digital rights management, the coffee equivalent of Steve Jobs’ attempt to fill iPods only with music sold through iTunes."
What?? Not really. Keurig machines refuse to use anything other than a Keurig-brand K-Cup. The iPod always played non-DRMed music. It just wouldn't play music with DRM from other stores.
Any store willing to sell music without DRM is/was perfectly compatible with the iPod.

- bri3d 12y agoIt's worth noting that the music that was deleted was "protected" by a reverse-engineered version of Apple's DRM, and the "deletion" was Apple dropping support for old, broken versions of FairPlay. iPods always played everyone's DRM free music and never tried not to, as far as I know.
