In the case ofmusic, Microsoft'sPlaysForSuresoftware proved flaky: notall music from all storeswouldplay for sureon all players, and the iPodremainedunchallenged.
We assume it also supports DRM'd WMA playback since the player will be launching with Ultra's, or should we say PassAlong Network's, NepTUNES music service which is PlaysForSure certified.
In another strong example of Microsoft's continued " investment" in PlaysForSure, it's pulling out of MSN Music, the big M's very own store for selling the not-completely-dead-yet music format.
