Then Apple came with ipod and screwed up all my music with iTunes encrypting everything. Fuck apple forever

I just imported my CDs and online downloads from sources other than the iTunes Store (they were legal, I swear).

Honestly I liked my iPod.

I replaced the firmware on my iPod so I could just load songs on mass storage like a regular mp3 player
