Closed systems leave song buyers out in the cold
,----[ Quote ]
| The top consumer complaint at online music service Napster:
| Songs purchased at Napster won't play on Apple's iPod.
|
| It's not Napster's fault. Apple's (AAPL) hugely successful iPod
| business is built on a closed system. You shop at iTunes MusicS
| tore for digital songs and use iTunes software to transfer them
| effortlessly to the iPod.
|
| The system works great for iPod owners. For others, there's a
| chaos of competing formats.
