Last year the gf got a third party .mp3 player and a $25 gift card for iTunes. She was all excited about having something "new and cool"(like all her friends), and ready to start purchasing music as a habit.
1). So we got the player configured, and she downloads songs from the Apple website. Hmmm, she thought she had only selected only a couple to purchase, but it used up the entire card.
Mabye she made a mistake. Mabye the website needed to be more clear. I don't know. Whatever. Next.

2). The dang songs won't play on her new player. I go to the Apple website and they are listed only as "Apple media files" or whatnot.
Hmmm, it didn't even disclose they were in .mp4 format.

3). Now she's pissed and almost in tears. She's ready to throw the .mp3 player (and the computer) in the trash after we just wasted several hours and $25 on nothing, junk, crap.
She wanted to purchase and listen to the music, but she can't purchase and listen to the music.


Too bad Apple, you lost another customer.
She wastes hundreds of dollars on books. Probably would have done the same with iTunes.

Me?
Long ago when Quicktimetask kept re-installing itself hogging memory, and Apple insisted on DRM nonsense I was outta there.
