It's absolutely a pain and it is great that iTunes went largely DRM-free. I hope DRM becomes obsolete as well. The point was that you do have the ability to "own" the content just as much as you do with a CD and you can take defensive measures if you're worried that the proprietary software, service, etc won't be available in the future. Is the inconvenience tolerable? It depends on the consumer's priorities. Is it every superior to DRM-free content? Absolutely not. But are there really DRM-free audiobook alternatives to Audible that offer similar instant download, pricing, library breadth, support for bookmarking (on many portable players), etc? If there are then all of my Audible purchases have been a mistake. But I haven't look around much in a while so I really don't know if such alternatives exist. I prefer audiobook CDs due to quality and DRM issues; but they're less convenient to obtain, usually more expensive, and then I still have to deal with less support for bookmarking, chapter markers, etc. -Jeff -- jdoering ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdoering's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73651 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
