Buzz Out Loud Lounge: You *have* to use iTunes with the new iPods...
You *have* to use iTunes with the new iPods...
by Ben Feldman - 9/14/07 1:15 PMThat means no Songbird or iTunes alternative, and NO LINUX!

If this isn't bundling, I'm really not quite sure what is.
Granted, people are working on cracking it, and it probably won't be too long before it's hacked, but it's the thought that counts. And there's the whole legality issue.
I'm not going to buy one of these new iPods until they get rid of this.
It's not a problem.

Why couldn't Apple implement a better method than this themselves for wireless syncing??? -- i hate apple.
thank god I'm a Linux user/non-sheep.
It's been cracked...

Apparently Apple was hashing the firewire ID with the local itunesdb file. So don't worry, Apple just wasted their developer's time on worthless code (again) --
ROFLMAO
