What DRM'd audio content does a Squeezebox play? How many non-Zune's play Zune music? Why did Walmart and others drop 'Plays for Sure' WMA and switch to mp3? Why did iTMS remove DRM? > > BTW, you may download [for free] from those rascals at Audible.com; > "FREE: The Future of a Radical Price" by Chris Anderson.

Does it confuse the two definitions of 'free'? 'Free as in Freedom, Not Free Beer' as the FSF says. Sure seems to from the title... if he can't get a basic premise of Free (as in Freedom) Software correct, his conclusions will be as nonsensical as if he thought 'software' was a reference to what 'Plushies' wear. Again: why download something I can not listen to how I want, whether it's on SB or for AudioBooks, my car stereo. That is not freedom. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 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
