We live in networks. That scenario is real, until the day you are at a friend's home and he says "well, here's something you should listen to". And you here a bit, and you like, and (because your friend wouldn't mind installing the tools for your player on his proprietary system) load it into your player.

And suddenly there are things you can't do with your player because of a simple slip into the proprietary world... That will be fun.
