Spiral Frog shuts down

John Gruber [reported](http://daringfireball.net/) on the music service from Spiral Frog shutting down. He predicted it was a dud back in 2006, and [I wrote](http://www.geeksrus.com/2007/09/17/universals-spiral-frog-has-more-warts-than-a-bad-fairy-tale/):

> Nice! So they use the Windows DRM, and use the Apple-doesn’t-license-fairplay excuse to not play on iPods, but they don’t even work on Zunes! And if Spiral Frog is indeed backed by UMG, UMG is getting a buck from every Zune sold! ROFL.

> It appears they only work with Plays For Sure, which as many of you know, is not Zune compatible.

Yep.
