The fact that most people have ipods automatically means if your free service isn't itunes, it absolutely has no chance.
Well then the spoiled rich brats will just have to use another player. Oh, woe is them. Free music or keep their iPod and be thieves.
Not every college student has mommy and daddy paying for their education.

Wow the ignorance in that comment is astounding. Hey maybe you should think your comments through instead of just saying them.

What mp3 player is currently the most popular? Ipod....

If the files from Rukus didn't work on Windows would you say "Spoil rich kids need to use linux! Woe is them."

You know not everyone is spoiled, rich, and goes to college.

Why in God's name would I have to stop using the device I presently use and buy a new one with the same capabilities just to satisfy someone else's requirement for copy protection?

Let's not forget the lack of variety when they think most students like the popular crap, wrong.

Who is going to buy a new mp3 player to gain access to a free subscription service for a year? People aren't made of money and a lot of people like their ipods. So offering a service that doesn't work with the ipod makes the service unusable by most students.
Also, fyi, downloading music isn't theft it's copyright infringement. No one is a thief.

Basically any service that uses drm is pointless unless every mp3 player can support it. Since such drm doesn't exist, these subscription services are pointless and a waste of money.
