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

Posted by kdawson on from the plays-for-sure-this-time-we-really-mean-it dept.

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."

    But at least they didn't spell it "compatable".

  2. Almost! Just a little more thought needed by 93+Escort+Wagon · · Score: 1, Redundant

    If they'd only thought it through a bit more, they could've come up with a catchy, easily-remembered name.

    Like, for example, PlaysForSure.
