silvarios, what do you use for listening to music on the go? I find Apple's overly structured way of doing things an occasional inconvenience but rarely an actual problem but your use cases seem to be different from mine. I'm wondering what you found that works better for you?
It seems to me that you probably just buy CDs or non-DRM music from other vendors; that's what I've always done. I not annoyed by DRM as I find it irrelevant— it's a business model that I don't participate in as there are superior alternatives: buy CDs and rip them.
The Apple annoyance for me is not being able to load songs from 2 different Macs to one iPod, which is something I assume is still a limitation, it certainly is for the iPhone and iPad. The transfer of music on and then off an iDevice was not something that was of much use to me as we have a centralized server for everything but for non-Apple-owned content that behavior should not have been restricted. Lazy programming or something else?
