Last year I experienced the similar frustration with my music store. After paying for dozens of music files, I can't play them on my iPod that doesn't support Microsoft DRM. But the sales representatives disagreed and insisted these files can work in iPod. How to do it? Three steps:
1. Prepare a blank CD,
2. burn all WM files into it
3. rip them into mp3
I put the name of songs in a P2P program, and all my problems were solved forever. I looked so silly to "illegally" download what I paid
MLB just gives another great lecture why we shouldn't buy DRM product. How silly to pay for what's even more "inferior" than pirated products, paying for a shit that is too good to protect rights of copyright holder, not that of consumers.
