Re: I don't get the move said by rexbinary:Apple would still make money off the songs no matter what player they were on, plus people don't buy iPods for the 'lock in' as he stated. They buy them because they like them and work well, so removing the DRM wouldn't change that. I believe that Steve Jobs has mentioned it numerous times that Apple doesn't make much off their music store. The big chunk of their share goes to recover operating expenses for that store, the rest goes to the record labels. iPods are Apple's bread and butter, that's what they are making the most money on these days.
And yes, I have an iPod and use it to play good old DRM-free MP3 files. If it didn't support them, I would have never even thought about getting one.
