I'm also not political. But I use iPods, mp3-capable car radios, several Squeezeboxes and an Android phone and I simply don't want to pay for crap that I then can't really use. And it's not about a large population, a large share of their customers will be enough. At least over here in Germany most of the stuff that is on Audible is also available in mp3 format on other platforms. One platform I'm using (soforthoeren) moved some stuff to WMA a few years back under pressure of the publishers and after some complaints and maybe some drop in sales they switched back to mp3. Not buying the stuff actually helps! -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73651 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
