Music Download Service Targets Linux Desktops

Posted by michael on from the about-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to DesktopLinux.com, a new music download service was launched recently by theKompany.com that, unlike iTunes and Napster, targets Linux desktops. Mindawn is claimed to provide CD-quality song files and 'virtually no' digital rights management (DRM) restrictions, offer full previews of the entire songs, and provide downloads in a variety of formats." There's also an interview with the founder.

    Yep, if we could just get the music on REAL CDs... but NO.

    Oh and it wouldn't hurt if they would lower the price to around half of what they currently cost.

    Everyone knows that the only reason people use Linux is because we don't like paying for things - what makes anyone think we are going to start paying for music?
