Some kinda shit like that will happen.
    Oh they already have that. It's called DRM (Digital Rights Management). They can decide whether or not you can play the file on another device. iTunes won't let their files be played on anything but iTunes or an iPod. You have to burn the files to a CD first and then rip them back onto the computer to get the DRM off.

    Slowly more companies are realizing that they can charge a bit more for DRM-free tracks and get happier customers too.

      That is exactly where al of this is heading, and I don't like it a bit.

        Really? I have never heard of this. Course I have not gone looking for it.

        How does it work? It just won't allow it to be played period? Or does it screw up the playback?

        How do you tell if a CD has this program in it?

        I've always been interested in attempts of the record company to derail filesharing. We've been hearing about it for years and years.

        But I've never had a problem. Only thing I do is put them in iTunes, on my iPod, and maybe burn a copy for the car. But thats about it.

        • I don't think DRM is a component of the CD, more about the program you use to rip the CD.

          I put every CD I owned into my hard drive, foolishly choosing .WMA "Protected" format thinking I was doing the right thing and it would save me heartache down the road.

          But when I bought my iPod, I found that there was no way to listen to the hundreds of CDs I had actually bought and paid for because the iPod will not recognize protected .WMA files. From what I have been reading, even Microsoft's own Zune player won't recognize them.

          So if I want to listen to the music I paid for, it's a tedious process of creating a CD, then ripping the CD back into iTunes and if you want to talk about sound quality loss there you have it.

          By contrast, the handful of files that I had acquired over the years from Kazaa and Limewire play on my iPod with no problem.

          • I have 6 files that are 30 megs each for the test if anyone has web space/bandwidth they would be willing to donate, PM me and we'll go from there.

            I'll be out for the next couple hours or so, but with any luck I'll open up the test later tonight.

                    and you are fucking weak for jumping on my throat and making personal comments when you feel that your argumentation skills are laking
                    wannabe is someone who says something about himself/herself that's not true... I haven't lied... some people on this board know me personally... they can back me up...
                    meaningless assertions with no facts behinds them??? give me a fucking break... what the heck are you doing?! for example you are calling my amp imaginary... wow.. that must be a well proven fact
                    want to hear it.... come and fucking listen... or everything must be handed to you on a fucking silver plate dear mister

                    • From the posts I've read that Endrik has posted, I can tell he knows what he's talking about.

                      Not because we agree on everything but because I can tell by what he writes that he's been there and done that. You can tell that stuff from how someone communicates.

                      But I'm not getting in the middle. I think Troy is pretty cool too.

                      But I just wanted to say that.

                      Carry on.

I don't go off calling names and making sweeping generalizations about someones character. I hold people to how they present themselves on this forum. I challenge what they say. I have no clue if someone is honest, trustworthy, beats his wife, steals cars, killed his mother, whatever. I don't make those generalizations. I'm not really comfortable with that.
                        Coming from a guy whos sig says "I'm angry because you're stupid". Isn't that a sweeping generalization about everyone on this board? Or is it a sweeping generalization about someone who doesn't see the world the way you do or agree with your opinions? Hmmm... I can also you recall you personally attacking others on this board.

                          I KNEW you couldn't hold yourself to your rule.

                          Knew it.

                          Actually, my sig line was on a shirt that some dude in Big Brother was wearing. I thought it was funny so I stole it.

                          So my sig pissed you off too? You have issues my brother.

                          Yep, I've went after others. Do it all the time, never said I didn't. Don't know what you mean there.

                          There is another thread for this bullshit now friend. Lets get it on there.

                              Nah, I'm not going to waste even more time in there than I have poting in this thread already today. You'd love the extra attention though wouldn't ya?

                              As for your sig, nope, it didn't piss me off. I just found it funny that you say you don't make sweeping generalizations but have a sig like that.

                              Well, off to band practice. Have fun!

                                Well you tried to use it as a weapon. So it must have bugged you.

                                That's the second or third time you've tried to do that. Hasn't worked at all.

                                Keep trying though guy. Sooner or later you'll get there.

                                I do love people who say "I'm done responding to you blah blah blah" only later in the day to respond to you. It's those fuckers who can't keep their word on anything. Fuckin' funny to me.

                                And I knew it wouldn't be long before someone said all this was for attention. Wrong again.

                                I'm not the first to throw stones at myself, am I?

                                So it's you guys giving me attention.

                                You do love me, don't you? If not, why give me so much attention?

                                Ok, I got it now. They love me and they are pissed that I got to do something they will never, ever get to do. Envy hurts, don't it?

                                I wouldn't know.
