Walmart Caves On DRM Removal

Posted by kdawson on from the just-kidding dept.

cmunic8r99 writes in with an email he received from walmart.com yesterday evening about the pending shutdown of their DRM services (which we discussed a while back). Walmart has reconsidered and won't be shutting off its DRM servers after all. They are still moving to an all-MP3 store, but won't break all the DRMed music its customers have already downloaded; this because of "feedback from the customers."

    Well, it does. Play a DRMed file. Listen to the quality.

    Turn off the DRM servers, transfer the file to another machine and listen to it again.

    Listen to the windows error message sound.

    Which sounds better?
