there ALREADY are services that offer burning & d/ling
til tuesday it totally already available on the Listen.com Rhapsody service, for instance. Same price as Apple (though last month they had a half price special for $.49 per burn - don't know when they'll do that again)
Hey guys,
I work for Listen.com and am the main technical producer of Rhapsody. It's great to see such heated discussion and there are a lot of great points here. However, I gotta point out some misconceptions:
1) the FAQ is OLD. We're launching on Monday with what we call "a la carte" CD burning. This means you can burn as many CDs as you want. No monthly restrictions, no restrictions at all.
2) The audio format on the CD is regular redbook audio. No DRMs, no restrictions. They're yours after you pay the $.99
3) If you want to check out Rhapsody without paying, just register and download it if you want to see the artist list. You can listen to 30 second clips and a selection of radio stations without paying us.
(remember that this is not released yet. wait 'til next week. ok, back to QA...gotta burn me some CDs;)
