Doesn't Jobs make his iPods none compatible with the majority of mp3 players?
"Mr. Jobs contends that the recording industry isn't solving piracy with the technology, and could spur the market further if music lovers could buy music online without the restrictions. Many consumers resent the curbs on how they can listen to what they buy from online stores. Songs from one company's catalog, for example, won't work on another company's player -- a gridlock that has frustrated some consumers. Getting rid of the antipiracy software could make downloaded music as widely compatible with digital players in the market as compact discs are with CD players."
