I don't know how widespread this is, but why the heck would people opt for proprietary content when the option is already there for content that is free (of restrictions)?

Maybe the discs I got are not the norm, and I rip the CD layer lossless anyway (not interested in low bitrate MP3) but this seems to be yet another new piece of DRM that is labeled as a "feature."]]>Aug 4th 2006 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/

For older albums issued under this plan, Apple simply has to pull material from their storage systems and send it over for pressing.]]>Aug 4th 2006 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/Aug 4th 2006 9:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/
As for buying pre-ripped iTMS tracks - wtf? Why would you do that if you're buying in a physical format? Sounds like a lame attempt to "value-add" to the DVDs, with no actual benefit to the consumer.

Maybe if it came as Apple Lossless.. even with DRM that'd be sorta cool.]]>Aug 4th 2006 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/
I'll add... unless you've got an iPod, which applies to alot of people, i s'pose.]]>Aug 4th 2006 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/Aug 4th 2006 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/
TOO BAD THEY ARE TOO LATE!!!

THOSE CHEAP BASTARDS!]]>Aug 4th 2006 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/04/warner-music-preps-itunes-compatible-dvd-album/
I would imagine that the tracks could be on the DVD in a similar fashion (or possibly, just require that one connect to iTMS for downloading) The notching of the DRM, fair for most peoples use, happens as the track is pulled to the iPod, or wherever, via iTunes.

There are AAC tracks without DRM, but the tracks on the DVD will have the Fairplay DRM. If you want the convenience of using a nice syncable database, you will probably be using iTunes regardless, to hear the tracks.]]>Aug 4th 2006 11:24PM
