I feel sorry for the 8 or 9 users affected by this. lol

Failed music service aside...it just goes to show their attitudea to their customers.


Many companies screw with their customers, like MS is doing here. For example, Sony-BMG secretly installing rootkits on your pc when you played one of their cd's on your pc. All companies do it...

@krik: That was pretty funny, hehe

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

 It could be used as a tool to force these internet music stores to use better practices but it onlyhurts the industry in the end.

Can't you just burn all your tracks onto a CD, then extract them as mp3's?

Thats what I do with songs purchased from iTunes, I just make a music CD for the car/truck, use Roxio to extract the songs into MP3 format, then delete the iTunes format. It leaves me with a legal hard copy and file copy that I paid for that I should be able to use on any MP3 player, PC or any other mp3 playing device of my choice. Everybody wins

You can do that but sound quality will be worse than original. Basically with every additional compression you will  lose some quality.
