They Might Be Giants Open Their Own Music Store

slothdog writes "They Might Be Giants have opened their own music store, featuring "highest quality" (256kbps LAME) un-DRM-encumbered mp3's. There are only two CDs currently available (at $0.99/song or $9.99/album), but presumably more will be added as time goes on. Looks like a great way to directly support the artists."

    why can't these music stores use a more superior format. they can then give more bang for your bitrate. they still stick with the old mp3.

    there are portable vorbis players out there, we need more online stores now.

    well, if they don't want to, nothing we can do about it.

    Either you're trolling, or you're an idiot. You obviously don't know a damned thing about them. They've been doing this for fscking 20+ years, it's never been about winning any god damned race, it's always been about the music and the fans. That's why they've got such a die hard base to work from.

    Seriously. This is a great idea. Too bad it's a group that sucks and that nobody cares about.

    Wake me when somebody good shows up.

    Oh yeah, and "ogg" is for fat greasy nerds who'll never get laid. No one cares about your lame format. MP3 FOREVA!
