Would be a great boon to me. At work I was researching German military aircraft for a project while playing itunes and next moment we were subjected to nazi marshal music blaring through the studio. Scary and almost had us goose stepping through th…

Esteban The record companies (apart from EMI, who were desperate) simply don't want the music offered DRM free in a superior format. They feel that MP3 being limited is a good way to test the market. Maybe if it does work out well years down the lin…

AS others have indicated it is difficult to give value to the logic of his argument when he is talking about an operating system that will be replaced by something that totally devalues his argument by the time his product comes out. Makes him sound…
