157. Actually Rhapsody chose to use a compatible file and Apple did not like it.
As I understand it Apple pushed an update to iPods to make it incompatible. Harmony could have easily been adjusted to correct this but Apple threatened to sue them if they did. Apple apparently wants to prevent other companies from selling music for the device. THey want iPod users to buy their music from iTunes.
Given the size of the iPod base that is a very big captive market.
It would be like apple updating the firmware on all of their computers to prevent them from running any software that was not purchased from the Apple Store.
