He likes SongBird because there is no lock in I assume meaning that he wants to be able to use other DAPs. But he doesn’t. He uses an iPod. He also uses Macs. Macs lock you in in many ways, as does the iPod. I mean I could understand if he was some GNU hippie who wouldn’t use any closed system. He uses DVDs, I don’t see anybody refusing to watch movies because of region coding or DRM.
