Apple will NEVER do anything even remotely open source. Just look how long it has taken them to give up on DRM and then only because they were/are losing market share to the DRM free mp3's available on Amazon. And please do give my any of that nonsense about how iTunes keeping DRM was because of the record companies and not because of Steve Jobs' lust for complete control (over everything and anything) - those same record companies were fast enough to toss away DRM when it came to making a deal with Amazon. Money talks. What is needed is an online store with the vast catalog like Amazon or iTunes which sells reasonably priced DRM-free, open source, e.g. flac and not WMA or Apple lossless, downloads. At present some stores do exist but they are either over priced or have limited catalogs or both. I believe that it's safe to say that around here flac rules. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57806 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
