Considering that Microsoft has tried DRM with it's Plays for Sure wma stores which bombed only to move onto it's highly restrictive DRM on the Zune which has also bombed and the DRM by default on WMP11. Do you ever get the feeling that maybe Microsoft likes restrictive DRM and that they are going to stay on the DRM path? (it keeps the RIAA happy) The biggest easiest place to get DRM free music would be the iTunes store followed by Amazon I believe as well as a number of MP3 stores that are online. It might well be, but in the PC world there is nothing that is impossible ;) So what? They obviously didn't do it RIGHT then :rolleyes: There is a 'right', a 'wrong' and a 'not right and not wrong' way to do things... MS obviously hasn't done it the right way have they? :rolleyes: they CAN do it the right way, they have the potential, but IF they do or not is up to them |

But why wait for that to happen when eventually could be eternity. I guess it just depends on how many hundreds of millions their share holders are willing to let them waste while they try to gain any form of market share in the online music download business. You never know, they may eventually be forced to follow the rest of the pack and start selling DRM free music when people completely stop buying any music from music stores that only sell MS supported music which is DRM'd and restrictive in how many devices you can play it on. DRM free music coded in aac will play on any device that supports aac (including Creative):) |

| 561360 | 2007-06-22 10:08:00 | At least Creative supports more filetypes that Apple :rolleyes: Anything on this PC mediawise my Zen can play :D If I had an iPod EVERYTHING would need converting... what a waste of my time :groan: | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||

I think your getting confused by the fact that aac is the default codec for the iPod which you just need to change to MP3 if you want to import your tracks in a generic codec that will play on any device. :) |

| 561362 | 2007-06-22 10:54:00 | I was talking filetypes in general... including VIDEOS... the iPod only supports MPV, MP4 and MOV where as the Zen supports MPEG 1,2,4 WMV 9, AVI, DivX, Xvid (most common codecs out there!). Meh, I consider iPods CRAP because you HAVE to change things to what you want and this is not on the threads topic so the disscussion... >>>>ENDS HERE<<<< >>>>NO ARGUEMENTS<<<< |
