2. DRM - I don't own and iPod or Zune because of it (nor do I use iTunes, Rhapsody, etc as I refuse to pay $1 for a lossy crappy sounding MP3 song | Your opinion may be different). I don't illegally trade or sell my music, but once I buy a CD, I want to use the FLAC files I make from them as I wish whether it be in my home setup, on my DAP, in my car or on my laptop. Because of Logitech's more mainstream "computing" presence (for lack of a better term), will we soon be forced to pay for and download Logitech branded MP3s that will only play on the Logitech-Slimdevices gear and possibly ONLY on that specific player?
I'm pretty sure no company has ever released a music player that /only/ supports DRMed files. It would be an absolute flop. I have my worries about this, sure, but some of the speculation going on is just ridiculous. Slim Devices has said clearly and repeatedly that their open source server / development model are not going to go away. - Jacob _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
