DRM free mp3 downloads

Postby mycroft on Tue Sep 25, 2007 6:38 pm

Amazon.com has the beta of their new DRM Free music download service up and running. I just bought Paradise by the Dashboard Light for $.99 and it was pretty hassle free.

DId I mention that there's no DRM to mess with? Play it on any MP3 player you own with no hassles.

I think I may actually start buying MP3's online.

Explain to me how a free music download cost you $.99. Am I missing something?

Crofty meant to hyphenate.

DRM-Free.

Not money-free.

;)

At least, that's how I read it...

Still, if the word free is in your product, I don't think you should have to pay.


I'm just sayin'...

And if wishes were horses... etc. etc.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Hey Drake, I hear there's some fat-free yogurt at your local grocery store. Why don't you head on down there, load up your cart, and run out the door with 'em? No one'll mind. 8)

They may cut your dick in half
And serve it to a pig
And though it hurts you'll laugh
And dance a dickless jig
But that's the way it goes
In war you're shat upon
Though you die, La Resistance lives on!

I was actually going to suggest that I do that with Pepsi Free, since fat-free yogurt isn't technically the product name.

Semantics.

Costless antifreeze for all!

Go out and seize your very own Arthur Freed back catalog before someone else beats you to it!

No reason to pay for the meal when the Freedom Fries don't cost anything!

Get your Freedom! Freedom available, no charge! Oh, wait. No. No, Freedom costs a buck-oh-five, now.

Is that because of the Canadian dollar?

I bought Ra's Black Sheep from Amazon, last night, and I agree with mycroft's assessment. It was extremely hassle free.

The only think that makes me uneasy is that the file sizes are twice as big as what I usually RIP at, because the compression is different. It doesn't really matter, but, at the same time, it doesn't really matter...
