2004 Digital Media Winners and Losers

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-read dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MP3 Newswire has just released Richard Menta's annual digital media winners and losers list. Apple tops the winners list for the second year in a row as does eDonkey and last spring's Grey Album protest. Losers include the term iPod Killers, Winamp, and the WMA format. BitTorrent made both lists. Menta also released a 2005 wishlist. Topping that list is an iPod in-dash unit similar to the old Rio Car. You can see Menta's previous years winners and losers lists."

    Its becoming obvious that a totally open non-DRM format is a precondition for digital music.
    If that's a precondition I can't wait until such a thing as digital music exists... that will be sweet!

    I'm very sorry, I didn't mention I was a mac user, all I have been doing is clicking "import" (only once per cd btw), do I need an education in verbose, are you willing to teach me? ;)
