"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
14 April 2008A meme for a Monday eveningOh, I'm sorry: that's supposed to be "a meme for a mundane evening." Favorite laundry detergent: The new Purex 2x concentrate in the white bottle. It's cheap, it's not loaded up with dyes and scents, and half the prescribed amount works just fine. Favorite way to buy music: Nothing quite compares with finding an actual record at an actual record store. How clean is your car? Inside, very; outside, less so. How clean is your apartment/house/room? Relatively hygienic, though more than a little cluttered. How clean is your office? Relatively filthy, though more than a little cluttered. Favorite weekly free time: Varies with the week, but usually it happens on Saturday. Is there a word, phrase, or gesture that is identifiably yours? I start more sentences with "Not that" than anyone else I've ever seen. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Most effective medicine for one (or more) of your ailments: My superexpensive blood-pressure meds work far better than I'd hoped, although I pay through the nose for this efficiency, as it offends the cost-cutters who run all the drug programs these days. A favorite thing you try to sell/push/encourage your friends to try: Woot. Favorite new (or new-to-you) thing: Legal downloadable music without DRM. This is open to anyone who'd like to play along; I swiped it from Terry.

I'd like for the entire industry to go that route, but in the meantime I'd like a source where if a track I want isn't available as an MP3 I can weigh the downside and decide whether to download the WMA and go through the burning-and-ripping process. Walmart.com has dropped all WMAs and sells nothing but MP3s now. The selection is teh suXX0r. Posted by: McGehee at 8:57 PM on 14 April 2008It's a little better at amazon.com, which sells only MP3s. I did my first test of swapping out an iTunes Plus (non-DRM, a few cents more) track to a different iTunes installation today. No problems, although the track is still identified in the More Info section as having been bought by me, which bothers me hardly at all. (Amazon MP3s have a code number included in the file tag.) Posted by: CGHill at 9:28 PM on 14 April 2008Amazon sells downloads? Why did I not know that? Who are these sinister conspirators and why are they keeping these useful facts from me? <redface> I'll check 'em out. Thanks, Charles. Posted by: McGehee at 10:20 AM on 15 April 2008 |
