New "MP3 100% Compatible" Logo For DRM-Free Music

Sockatume writes "A coalition of seven UK digital music stores have created a logo for DRM-free, MP3 music. The 'MP3: 100% Compatible' logo allows the stores to emphasize the advantages of the format, namely that MP3 files will run on any device and won't keel over and die as DRM-laden files are wont to. The BPI — the UK equivalent of the RIAA — is backing the scheme, emphasizing that it will also allow users to identify legitimate stores."

    I voted already and mindlessly gazing at the results as they come in or are speculated upon is not going to change the results.

    You're right. Anything not related to the presidential election should grind to a halt. I stopped my clock so I would not look at it but watch the election instead.

    That can't be right because the FBI are run by the Catholics.

    I didn't know you could post as an AC and then mod yourself up. I'll have to remember that the next time I want to try to make factless BS seem slightly legitimate with an insightful mod.

    non-racist? no, i assure you, obama is a racist and those who support him were hoodwinked by his playing of the race card.

    Obama has just won the election, and this is what Slashdot writes about. And no, the logo doesn't actually mention DRM. And yes, the logo only touts MP3, leaving Vorbis where? I mean it's nice to see some positive development on this front, but as the actual issues are muddied as ever.

    Naturally it would also have "I'm *insert name of Republican here* and I approve this message" at the end of it.
