There's something about Hot Chili Peppers on a brown Zune that's making me nauseous.

Added cost for better quality?

This should be good. I can't wait to see the result - pay more than the CD for 192k instead of 128k? I'm not optimistic.

Re: Yes.

Is all good. I just hope others follow soon. They finally gave up... although for a premium... but is all better than a less quality DRM for 99 cents.

Where Apple leads, Microsoft follows...Again

So I guess Jason Reindorp doesn't think Steve Jobs was "irresponsible, or at the very least naïve..." afterall.

Microsoft continues it's legacy of non-innovation.

Re: Added cost for better quality?

Most people who buy from these services generally only buy the songs they like, not whole CD's. Usually only 1 or 2 songs max per cd for current pop artists. Collectors generally buy real CD's or get HQ rips from newsgroups.

Shouldn't the cost savings of eliminating DRM offset the cost of the better quality songs?

Re: Added cost for better quality?

Yeah, most of the bands I listen to have enough good songs per CD to make the whole thing worth getting. I'll never buy digital music online until I can get a whole album for $10 in lossless format and no DRM, which will probably never happen.

What??? You have got to be kidding me. What is innovative about selling songs that a record company decides not to have DRM on? Give me a break. You are stretching. Why do you mac freaks turn everything into mac vs pc? I have pcs and I have macs I don't want to hear about my pc loving.

Bottom line though...I applaud EMI.

@onelinkpr.net

Keep reading that without DRM...there will be added cost for higher quality. So basically they all agree that till now they will selling us bad quality products...or DRM makes the product of less quality.

Anyway...DRM free music should be cheaper..since the cost of making the music DRM compliant is not there...hence the music should be cheaper. Or is it that the music company decided to throw the towel...& make more money from it

I would be willing to buy vista for a more expensive price than it is if they remove the DRM from that

Re: Where Apple leads, Microsoft follows...Again

Actually when you think about it...... Ripping your own music whether it's 128 or 320 comes at the same cost and no DRM... maybe that model should be adapted?

you guys get excited too easily. must be the brain washing

what about just buying the CD without DRM, support the artist, and screw MAC and MS and Rhasody and all the other wannabees

Vista will never be on my machines again. it's XP with a new SKIN and a way to screw with all the SHEEP

they just pushed me to Suse Linux on my existing rigs and a NEW MAC machine for the first time.

Re: Where Apple leads, Microsoft follows...Again

Actually, it is where EMI leads, will other music labels follow. Is EMI only the first of the major labels to do this, and will the other labels follow suit. Or will EMI be the only one for the time being?
