Oh great, another Apple product full of DRM, proprietary technology and

But I'm driven more by pragmatism than idealism. As long as it also
plays non-DRM content (feature details as yet unknown), who cares?
Personally, I don't like tweaking these toys. Despite my affection for
the Squeezebox (I have 3), tweaking is the main reason I look for
replacements. There always seems to be some issue that works it's way
into the software that I have to work around. So, my quest for the NMF
(near maintenance free) solution continues.
It's not ideology, it's the experience that the disadvantages of closed
solutions are just too great in the long term. MythTV and SqueezeBox are
made to be flexible. Standard commercial solutions are usually made to
lock you into their products.
