IPod vs. Satellite Radio: The Battle For Consumers' Hearts

Needless to say, the characterization of portable media player content loading/finding as something incredibly time-consuming, expensive, tedious, only for criminals, Satanists, Michael Vick, etc., is misleading and wrong.

IPod vs. Satellite Radio: The Battle For Consumers' Hearts

There are other ways to fill your personal music player besides the itunes store or illicit downloading. The vast majority of music on mine was ripped from my personal CD collection. Also, the net is full of great music that's free to download, like archive.org's Live Music archive. And there are podcast subscriptions, which are an easy way to get exposure to new music if that's your desire.

Satellite radio's main draw IMO is the exclusive live content, not the standard music stations.

Reactions to Apple's DRM-Free EMI Music

So... iPods are the most common portable music device and *they* support AAC, therefore "the majority of players" support AAC and the analyst -- who was quite clearly not making a comment about iPods -- is wrong?

That would be a really weak response even if "majority" could not also be used to describe type rather than instance.
