John Gruber reported on the music service from Spiral Frog shutting down. He predicted it was a dud back in 2006, and I wrote:
Nice! So they use the Windows DRM, and use the Apple-doesn’t-license-fairplay excuse to not play on iPods, but they don’t even work on Zunes! And if Spiral Frog is indeed backed by UMG, UMG is getting a buck from every Zune sold! ROFL.
It appears they only work with Plays For Sure, which as many of you know, is not Zune compatible.

All I can say is, I’m sticking with my nice, clean, easy to use iTunes Music Store
Yep.
