With respect to your comment on the "the limited use of FairPlay DRMed songs from the iTMS" I would be interested in an alternative to buying/ripping CDs. DRM seems to be a fact of life for old law abiding curmudgeons like me. Does the Music Gremlin $15 service allow more then limited use? If so sign me up.]]>Jun 18th 2006 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/Jun 18th 2006 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/Jun 18th 2006 8:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/]]>Jun 18th 2006 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/Jun 18th 2006 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/Jul 3rd 2007 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/Jun 18th 2006 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/Must be a US thing.

If you invested this money as opposed to renting music you could otherwise hear on the radio or streamed over the internet for free, in a fairly short time, you could afford to buy your music outright. That, and much more.

Oh yeah, Happy Mother F'ing Fathers day to all you dads out there, and Happy Fathers day to all of you dads that don't appreciate swearing!]]>Jun 18th 2006 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/Jun 18th 2006 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/Jun 18th 2006 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/Jun 18th 2006 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/
here's an amazing deal that's probably too good to be true. i just bought this for my dad last minute (since he's getting a moto q). the rebate seems to be double-posted on accident. i discovered this after ordering two, but i'm going to keep my order and see if buy.com honors it:

Kingston 1GB MiniSD $8.99

one more time i am happy that my parents are divorced and that i can therefore buy me some extra stuff for the money saved ;P :)]]>Jun 18th 2006 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/
@ Illphil:

I don't get it. You would spend $ on your parents if they were married, but since they're not, you don't? Aren't they your parents either way? I'm sorry you are happy your family broke up.]]>Jun 18th 2006 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/Jun 18th 2006 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/
I tend to actually like the idea of the subscription services, mainly because investing in something as worthless of a song seems about as silly as basing your financial future off of the pile of games you've ammased in your 20+ years on this earth. Music is great, and it's great to listen to, but I'd doubt anyone is listening to their Smashmouth CD from 10 years ago, or jamming out to Nataile Imbruliga. The subscription based service fills a void where you'd like a PMP, but don't own a gazillion CDs, and have no other way to fill your PMP, sans piracy. I think it's a definate option.

Later,

I'm still waiting for a online store to offer lossless DRM free recordings of major artists...too bad that'll never happen :(

This year I went low-tech and got him a HUGE Ice Cream Cake from Dairy Queen. You know what? I think he liked the Ice Cream Cake more than the Ipod. Go figure :)]]>Jun 19th 2006 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/18/engadget-celebrates-fathers-day/ So it sounds like your father has transferred all his music to MP3 from that old reel to reel tape deck he has. Got his money's worth from that one...
