Who would have thought. We've been waiting for the iTMS for how many
years?
Not that it bothers me really. I will never be prepared to buy
material that has restrictions on what I'm able to do with it.
guess what... when you "buy music" like a CD or tape you automatically
have legal restrictions placed on you about what you can do with it
anyway... because you are ownly buying the rights to listen to it
(rather than the music its self)
Very true but these laws are pretty easy to ignore since they aren't
really enforced in any way.
If the format was also offered in MP3 I'd be more than happy to use
the system but the record companies would never let that happen.
simple... burn ACC to CD in iTunes - rip tune back to iTunes... or if
your to cheap to use a CD-R then re use a CD-RW
Wow. I never expected it would be so easy. I guess I just assumed
that it would be a lot more difficult to transfer the file into a MP3
since part of the design behind ACC was supposed to prevent piracy.
Perhaps I could see myself using the ITMS, that is if it ever comes out
over here in Australia.
One thing though... I heard that making an MP3 from an existing MP3
greatly degrades the quality of the file because it has already been
compressed. Since ACC is also a format for compression is this rule
applicable?
I'm not quite sure if converting into standard CD audio before encoding
will bypass this.\

Nope. Just get the twirling candy cane and Accessing Music Store.

Can anyone else access the store at the moment?
