The RR was pretty much developed to Dell's spec, and they didn't want a ripper - Dell bundle with musicmatch already. It works well with MM (tunes, playlists).

If you ask me, the biggest no-no with the RR is shipping a PCI card with it for the PNA interface, requiring people to open up their PC. A USB adaptor would have worked just fine and would have been a lot less frightening.
