[Dixielandjazz] Another Voice on Music Security

[Kay Spencer]

Steve,
   
  It's strange that you say that iTunes is worthless without the iPod.  I used iTunes for many, many months before I got the iPod. I use the software to both store music and burn CD's for use in the car, etc.  I also use iTunes to download free podcasts, not only OKOM, but brass bands, orchestra, as well as radio programs and a variety of other things that strike me from time to time. Some of the free radio programs I also burn to CD in AAC format for interested parties who are not technology friendly. Anyhow I still use iTunes more frequently than the iPod itself...

  The Apple story from this week deals with encryption to prevent 
distribution, rather than pure copyright. Part of the problem is the fact 
that Apple has its own little version of DRM software, so you can't play 
iTunes files on any other media aside from the PC you downloaded, a single 
CD, and an iPod. While that prevents distribution, it also means iTunes is 
sort of worthless unless you buy an iPod.

OKOM content: Webster Records http://jazzbymail.com (ahhhhhhh...I have 
family within a mile of the shop!!!) is offering 192 mb mp3 downloads. They 
ain't quite CD quality, but a lot better than most mp3's around. It's not 
available on every disc, or even really very many, but it's happening!
