So, because Apple owns a music service that does DRM, you refused to buy an iPod that has no DRM, because Apple sellls DRM'ed music totally separate and unrelated to the iPod?
Yeah.. makes good sense.
The iPod stinks. Try getting your non DRM stuff of the iPod. Oh wait, can't. I loaded my own podcasts and music onto my iPod and I had to find a third party app to take off my own stuff when I got to my location. Well, I could have enabled disk mode and loaded the same content twice. Then there's the whole requirement of needing an app to drop media onto the iPod. Why is that a thing? Besides vendor lockin of course.
The iPod was a brilliant device when it came to on device use, but the ecosystem was the pits.
