I do. iTunes music only worked with iTunes. Several retailers started offering music downloads for sale that only worked with Windows Media Player and others with yet a different proprietary music player - and they all had different catalogs so there was no "one stop shopping" if you were looking for specific songs.
I didn't buy many music downloads back then, mostly because having a collection that required the use of three different music players got tedious real fast. And more than half of what I had was no longer playable when the companies stopped selling music files.
