Another round of lawsuits is pending for Apple as Creative Labs is going to sue them over their iPod interface.

The Creative Patent covers ways to "overlap" aspects of songs so that an assortment of songs is easily accessible, having multiple functions for buttons on the digital music player, and having the music player/menu access information that is stored in the MP3 ID Tag.
