Napster
I signed up for a Napster free 14 day trial, am I seeing this right? it's $14.95 per month, but to download an MP3 it's an additional $.99ea? I thought I got unlimited downloads for $14.95/month?

Ok with your monthly payment you can download/listen/and put music on a portable music device but when your subscription runs out you no longer have access to any of those songs. If you pay the .99 cents you OWN the song and can do with it what you like, IE put it on a CD. With the subscription service you cannot burn the music on to disc or unapproved portable devices.

Welcome to the digital rights world. It sucks. it's why people are still pirating music. It's a ripoff.

I think what Radiohead and Saul Wiliams/Trent Reznor have done with free DL's with optional donation then releasing the CD is the best way. Releasing a cd with artwork, videos, codes that unlock secret material each month and so on are great treats for fans too. I think fans should be the ones deciding how much they love a band hell if you ar ea super fan and want to support your band you can give $100 when you DL their latest CD instead of buying a 14.99 cd that the band gets chump change from after the label, distirbutor and other middlemen get their cuts....even if only a few thousand fans choose to pay for a free DL they'll still probably make more money than they would getting the small amount from each CD purchase.....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

I explained it, did you understand? Originally Posted by Prince

For you 14.99 you can access/listen/portable (transfer and listen) to all thier music while you continue paying that monthly fee. Once you stop you lose ALL of those including the songs on your portable device. By paying the .99 you own the song and can burn it on CD and Portable device can listen to it til the grave. Without paying the .99 cents you will not be burning it on a CD.

There are major problems with protected digital media.
Microsoft has already said they will shut their DRM servers for their MSN music service by the end of this summer. This is a good example of why you never ever ever ever want protected media. Anybody who bought their music is going to get screwed.
Needing an internet connection to play music that requires DRM validation sucks donkey nards. What if I want to carry a song to my office or dorm room and they don;t have internet access for some reason. Well I don't get to listen to any of my music that I paid for.
Various protected formats will only play on certain devises. A good example is I wanted to join audible to get audio books, but I couldn't buy a book because they don't do zune. Well what would happen if I had an Ipod, but decided I wanted a zune. Well, bye bye music and books I paid for.
There are way to many problems with digital protected media. Don't waste your time.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

Then the person can use a batch DRM Cracker and unprotect all of the songs that they bought legally because no one should be able to lock you out of your property by shutting off the system that allows accessibility. It'd be like the electric company shutting off the power to your home and you have an electronic keypad only lock on your door. If you can't get into your own home then you're going to have to break in and no one will be able to say shit about it because it's your property.... Originally Posted by KelJu

There is no such thing as a batch DRM cracker. New DRM has not been cracked yet. Originally Posted by maniclion

Where there are probably several ways of getting around it, like a program that will record the song into memory and then virtually burn it to a new file? or any other of a dozen ways.....I don't know because I steer clear of that shit..... Originally Posted by KelJu

Maybe not a direct crack, but it's digital music KelJu. It's relatively easy for a programmer to redirect the output from the audio device to a file (which will be unprotected). If it was done correctly with no analog conversion, there would be no lost quality.
The bad thing about that versus an actual "cracker" is that rather than it taking 10 seconds per song, it will take the actual length of the song.Ron Paul 2012
No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?
