MP3tunes Offers Music Service Without DRM

ThinSkin writes "Former MP3.com chief and Lindows CEO Michael Robertson will reenter the music world next week with MP3tunes, a service that promises music without DRM restrictions. MP3tunes hopes to attract users who are fed up with restrictions on copying music from sites that use digital-rights-management techniques, such as iTunes."

OGG/Vorbis support

[drivinghighway61]

But will they offer OGG/Vorbis downloads? Seriously, I bought the most expensive mp3 player around so I could listen to my extensive, legal music collection in Vorbis. I don't want to spend my time writing a shell script to convert my mp3s to Vorbis, so is there any chance of MP3Tunes offerning OGG downloads? BTW, I had a Vorbis listening party the other night, and I invited all my female friends [robots] to listen. They all noticed the difference between my 128kB/s OGG files and my 64kB/s MP3 files. Up with OGG/Vorbis!

Why would you want to convert an mp3 file into another format? It's typically a lossy proposition... Eptisam

Congrats. You've managed to state stupid apple fanboi reason #1 without a hint of irony or sarcasm.

You're serious.

Therefore, you win this week's Apple Fanboi of the Week award.

This entitles you to pick the Powerbook of your choice, pay full price, and then you get to come on /. and tell us that a G4 is fast enough for you.
