Lessons about DRM we can learn about the Squeezebox: - if DRM were universal, small start-ups like Slim Devices would have a major obstacle to overcome in getting hold of the keys (hardware, software, licences... whatever) to play music at all. Therefore, it's highly unlikely we'd even HAVE a Squeezebox.
- People like the ability to listen to music on multiple devices, distributed across a network, without having to fuss over where the CD (or the SIM card, or whatever) is. - Album art, lyrics and so on, may be nice to have, but are largely irrelevant. It's the music that counts. - Same goes for audio quality better than 44.1k/16 bit. Nice to have, but totally irrelevant to most people. I honestly struggle to see why anybody outside of the music industry would think DRM is a good thing. The ONLY thing it does is PREVENT music from being played. -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34928 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
