Really? No DRM, and no lossy compression? Sure, I'd consider buying some. If I can give my money to Sony I can give it to Apple. I've never paid for a download from anybody before. PS: I can't see my own posts on fegmaniax. Is that how it works now, or has my spam filter blacklisted me?

I think songs are now priced at 1.29/.99/.69. i think tracks have your name and email embeded in the metadata but that's the only vague anti-piracy measure taken. - -- "In this horrible age of abuse and decay, it's good to know that somebody's looking okay" - Robyn Hitchcock ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2009 17:24:27 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: Dear Fegmaniax...

I was going to suggest that it was a mailing list for banks and credit card issuers, and it's seen a lot of traffic lately, but you got me beat. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:22:56 -0400 From: lep Subject: Re: beck / tom waits Rex says: > > > On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 8:25 AM, lep wrote: >> i don't know what that means. > > They bitch from within and celebrate at the same time.
