It won't respond to any of the various magic keypresses, at least the ones I know of, and of course there's no way to do a power cycle. And because of the DRM, there's no backup, so even if I reformat the iPod, I'll have to set up everything all over. Meanwhile the music industry says it's all about piracy, that's why Apple cripples this $400 (now worthless) piece of high design.
