Home Stereo Equipment With Online Music Purchasing

Posted by michael on from the one-click dept.

nebulous bee writes "Yahoo is reporting on a new piece of home stereo equipment going on sale in Japan that has an ethernet port that can be linked directly to an online music store. You can purchase new music using the unit's built-in LCD display and hear it 'instantly'. No PC required. There are no plans to sell it yet outside of the land of the rising sun."

    When that rogue nation ICBM hits in a town near you, and the EMP wipes out all your ethernet purchased "eeeemusic" from your "peeceees", I'll be warm in cozy in my bomb shelter with a can of spam and my vinyl records -thank you very much.

    Yup, according to Microsoft, now that I've installed iTunes on my PC Apple is preventing me from using other online music purchase choices.

    Even if this came to the States I couldn't use it. Thanks Apple, thanks bunches.
