Star New DRM Low: iPod Shuffle Has Headphone DRM Chip
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 16th Mar 2009 23:00 UTC
Apple Just when you thought that DRM was on its way out, with various music stores abolishing the practice, some company will implement DRM in yet another way that will affect lots of customers in a very negative way. The most recent case of idiotic DRM comes courtesy of a gadget maker from Cupertino. Update: MacWorld provides nuance to the story, with comments from Apple and third-party manufacturers.

That said, the way the new Shuffle works, pretty and durable as the device itself is, is nothing but dumb, and consumers should know going into the purchase that it's an inflexible gimmick.
Just as the old one, only worse, big deal, get a Sansa Clip/Fuze instead.
