.... explained that students could keep their songs only until they graduated. Do the songs then disappear, honor system, or what? That makes me suspect the biggest complaint is the system is not Mac compatible.

The files from Napster and other subscription services use DRM technology to make them expire at some point.
I suppose you could extract them or change their format, but it would be a major, major pain.

I suspect that the systems were "subscription" services that the colleges maintained that required a current student password... once the student's password was removed from the system, the ex-student's access to the songs would no longer work.
