I bought the soundtrack for a couple games from direct song, and the DRM on them is infuriating. I can play the music on my laptop, but not on my desktop. I cant listen to it in my car on a CD, and I cant listen to it on my mp3 player. What the hell is the point of buying it in the first place?]]>Dec 7th 2006 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/Dec 7th 2006 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/mp3 + $0.50/song = 192kbps + DRM
mp3 + $1.00/song = 192kbps + no DRM
Lossless + $1.00/song = DRM
Lossless + $1.50-$2.00/song = no DRM


I'd be giving Apple every single extra red cent I had for lossless songs with no DRM... I would personally wash Steve Jobs' feet... but I don't see it happening. I still hate lossy formats and prefer buying the physical media, even if it is a few bucks more...]]>Dec 8th 2006 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/
I had two CD with that junk on it... That's what you get for being a respectable CD purchaser.]]>Dec 7th 2006 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/Dec 7th 2006 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/

"Lossless + $1.50-$2.00/song = no DRM"

at $2.00 a song for lossless, downloading the music will be much more expensive than just buying the CD. ]]>Dec 7th 2006 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/]]>Dec 8th 2006 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/
DRM is only half the picture.]]>Dec 7th 2006 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/Dec 8th 2006 2:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/

Besides, even if you pay $1.00 a song for non-DRM protected songs, that's still price per song. With a monthly unlimited service and FairUse, you get as many songs as you want for an annual fee of less than 10 CDs.]]>Dec 8th 2006 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/Dec 8th 2006 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/07/emi-music-starts-selling-drm-free-music/
I am still baffled as to why all the car audio decks support WMA instead of unrestricted AAC. Its not like there are millions of Napster and Yahoo Music subscribers, but there certainly are a lot of iPod/iTunes owners who have default ripped their CDs into AAC format.]]>Dec 8th 2006 12:09PM
