Fair enough. But it is no news that Songbird can playback those files,
at the technical level I believe there are several ways such files
could be played on the Squeezebox. The whole problem is the legal
issues of playback on non-autorized devices. If you doubt this fact, I
recommend you look it up. I won't quote any specific sources, its
discussed all over the Internet, try google (search for:fairplay, drm,
apple, legal, litigation) or start with the (not very good) wikipedia
article on Fairplay:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairPlay_(DRM)

The problem is that it is pretty black, which this thread exemplifies.
I do encourage people to complain about it though.
