These days I am buying CDs and ripping them with grip. I'm thinking of joining the Rhapsody online music service for my Sandisk mp3 player. Of course, what kills it for me is DRM. A sliver of hope comes from the ability to burn "purchased" songs to a CD. I have even seen Windows-only utilities to create a virtual CD (an ISO image, I assume), then rip mp3s from that.
1) Is there an available Linux program to do the same thing? 2) I've heard that the journey from the DRM protected content to a CD to mp3 is not a pleasant one musically. I'm not totally happy with the sampling rate of standard mp3 generally, although I live with it for the convenience of having all those tunes in my shirt pocket and on my hard drive. I'm not in much of a mood for further degradation from removing the DRM. Does anyone have any experience with this? I suppose I could try it out and see, since there is a free trial, but I'm hoping someone else has been through the process. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
