Appears to be a new ripping/matching service. From what I can tell, it appears that you can send them your CD collection (for free) and they'll make it all available to you for online streaming (for free). Unfortunately I couldn't find anything that mentions what format they use for streaming. Here's the key, though: *they now have Sonos integration*. If there were a squeezebox plugin I might go ahead and give this a try. Their business model seems to be based on a couple revenue streams: - Users can pay to download your tracks individually ($1/track, FLAC) -- seems too pricey to me but if you want a dedicated ripping service there are probably better deals to be found elsewhere - Users can sell their CDs via the service and murfie keeps 30% of the price. There are definitely downsides (if you frequently use portable devices it's probably not terribly useful to you) but, all in all, this seems pretty innovative. Ripping/tagging, etc., is such a hassle and I'd love to outsource the problem. From what I can tell you can get your CDs back, for free, at any time, so it looks pretty low-risk to try. Does anyone have any personal experience with the service? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97864 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
