They've offered to give 15% of their income to the record associations.. the record associations have just been greedy and not taking the money.
They have a product, at a resonable price point. (a full 80 minute cd at the quality I like comes to ~$3-4$..) - and it's extremely easy to use. I.e. I think of something I want, I go to their site and add it; my slingbox server has a program which then automaticlaly downloads it.. - why wouldn't you use that? so far the record asssociations in the US haven't given us anything with anywhere near that usability. -mark adamslim;148980 Wrote: > What are you doing giving these people money?
