  1. Freebies? by Sparr0 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The first question that comes to mind is... how many of the downloads were free? I have seen so many ads for free songs (giveaways, contests, promotions, etc) on itunes, napster, etc that I have lost count. I wouldn't even hazard a guess at the paid:free ratio, it could be anything, 1:10, 1:1, 10:1...

    Why burn them to disc and rerip them to get rid of the DRM? Run them through jHymn.
