Apple is having some trouble, eh?

really not that hard. burn music to audio cd. rip from cd as mp3 and your done. strangely this method has worked on every form of protected audio i've found .wma and .aac theres a slight loss of qualtiy but nothing noticable

Or you could not buy an iPod just copy music straight back and forward

This has nothing to do with Macs or the Operating System. The MacOS is more secure than Windows.

That's not what I care about, at all. All that I found amusing was that they might be having....quite a tough time. I just found it amusing, cause its a famous article about Mac getting it up the ass.

Can we not make this into a Mac vs. PC thread? we have enough of those, really, and my liking PC's better had nothing to do with the creation of this thread.

Well I wrote that answer because to me:

Mac = The hardware (=iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac mini) + the MacOS make the Macintosh or "Mac"-platform.
While Apple Computer, Inc. (or short: Apple) is the company that makes Macs and the iPod and other stuff.
Mac = NOT a company, Apple is the company. The Mac is just a product.

Soooo, to me it sounded that you were talking more about the Mac platform. Not Apple computer (and its FairPlay DRM). Hence the confusion.

Apple gets called "Mac" or "MAC" or "IMAC" and crap like that a lot. Most people don't understand that the Mac is a product made by Apple Computer, Inc.

I wasn't trying to start a Mac vs PC thread, I hate them as much as the next guy, I was just claryfying something
