Is there a business model that works? For Joe public, why can't he buy a CD and for a nominal amount say 10p per track buy a corresponding FLAC file. The FLAC file would have an agreed standard of tagging and could either be available to customers in a shop via a pen drive or direct to a mobile HDD. Each file when created could be tagged with a license key which would allow playing the files on a registered music server. This would legalise the copies.
I know that there would be a problem with illegal file sharing, but with each file tagged it might just persuade enough people to use the system as pirated stuff would have their name on it. The advantage is that music servers would then be more easily accessible to those who can't be bothered with ripping and tagging their own music. -- mudlark SB3>CyrusDACX>PreXvs>NAP140+260A>KEFiQ7, Avondale and Naim cable, Kubuntu Gusty Gibbon server, linkstation for storage.
