That’s ok, Rhapsody has a better selection, I just made the switch and am impressed.

I would never purchase songs, or other media with DRM tied to it.

PirateBay & Morpheus, FTW!!!

I’m confused by the title. Is this about iTunes or Yahoo Music Store? Are they the same thing? I’ve used iTunes to download podcasts but that’s all. My daughters have paid for and downloaded songs and movies from iTunes. Can you clarify?

After September 30, 2008, you will not be able to transfer songs to unauthorized computers or re-license these songs after changing operating systems. Please note that your purchased tracks will generally continue to play on your existing authorized computers unless there is a change to the computer's operating system.

Such a wonderful idea, DRM... This is the reason that I will never, under any conditions, purchase music files with DRM. There are a number of albums I've wanted to purchase electronicly, but they're only available as downloads with DRM. I've done without. I may eventually buy the CDs, but until then, I emailed the label and the store (Walmart.com) letting them know that they lost some sales.

People still actually buy music? I haven’t spent a dime on it since bit torrent became big.

Small wonder that everyone just steals music.

So basically the customers who trusted Yahoo! are screwed.

With regard to DRM, the only ones to trust are Apple as they are the ones who actually care about the customer and are actually fighting the recording companies to drop DRM altogether. I get the impression that if the Apple iTunes store ever goes out of business, they will not do so without giving their customers a key to unlock the DRM on all the songs they ever bought from them. But that's hypothetically speaking as Apple iTunes will likely not ever go out of business in our lifetimes.

I also like eMusic for getting digital music. They are reasonably priced and their MP3s are DRM-free.
