No Yahoo Music, Napster, Rhapsody, FYE...

I hate it when hardware makers make a device that's only compatible with their own music service. Since this won't work with Yahoo Music's unlimited downloads (or similar offerings from Napster, Rhapsody and FYE), I'm not interested in this.

they are mp3 compatible...

what more could you ask for? if yahoo, napster, etc, are breaking their songs by making them incompatible with devices that play mp3s, then they are to blame.
