I'm just not seeing the benefits of a system that's limited at its source
whether it contains 100 songs or 10,000. The inability for people to move
their files to another digital source from iPod without having to invest in
software and countless hours of aggrevation seems counter-productive and
well, inconvenient. And what if the memory gets wiped by mistake? Or you
lose the iPod itself? Bye. Bye files.
I'm not against the system per se, but if you can't easily move the contents
around to save them elsewhere just in case of a tragedy then it's rolls and
bagels that you can't eat.
