I foresee legal hassles, though I like the suggestion that any

There's not really much in the way of room for anything serious like
that to identify an iPod. They're presented as UMS devices, so there's
not a special protocol in use. I believe they do make some sort of
custom inquiry, but, and again I'm working from memory here, it's known
what's in it and not encrypted.
I misspoke. I really meant, do players have signatures?
I know that most Windows players do. I assumed that the newest Apple
players do, but since Rockbox doesn't run on the Touch, or the other
newer players, I don't guess that matters until it does run on them, if
ever.
While we are on the subject, would Rockbox be suitable for an iPhone app?
Another one: Would Rockbox be suitable for Google's Android?
