ChocolateJeff Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I've been using a computer since 1995, and I've NEVER (really) EVER purchase a song from any online store (I bought CD's though). I have a 30 G music collection of "DRM-free" music And the question or rather, I've always wondered how it'd feel like to purchase a song on itunes.. with the "ease" and "convenience" that Apple so often talk about... (it is the No.1 Music Store in US anyways) and so I decided to get my first song.. *very reluctantly- knowing DRM will be attached to it* (although I know how to beat the DRM ) Yesterday I very bravely bought my FIRST song... EVER.. and felt great!! the quality is great and I don't even have to fill out the information and find the artwork of the albums.. it was a great experience.. However, I don't think I'll be getting anymore songs from there Hahaha I prefer *old-school style* of getting my songs (CDs or Ehhhemm) I was wondering though, how many of you actually fill up your library with "itunes" songs? or how much of your collection are legal.. Although I didn't get a lot of songs through itunes, I do buy CDs sometimes because the quality of CD is better and the CD comes with lots of goodies like the case, and the booklet.. I'd say 2% of my collection are legal p/s: I bought a Norah Jones: One Flight Down. (I love Jazz) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117076-my-first-legal-song/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 LOL ! That's crazy thing to buy "legal" song when you had the behavior to say "Ah gosh, the sound is a bit crusty". Not almost the time because I'm not a lime :censored2: guy so... I'm a old-school kid too and I'm very liking Limp Bizkit. It sound strange but the lyrics and the message beyond make me feel woww! Anyway, I'm a big downloader too but I considered that I'm not stealing directly artist because if I very like the CD, I buy it. And believe me, I had a huge collection of CD's. I'm not able to flame the P2P but for myself, that is a good media to know more about music and new styles. And btw, DRM are the worst crappy thing the labeler introduce in the market. Such a great deal to have the power on the customer Fred Durst doing that on 2000: In late 2000, the band also stirred up some discontent by allowing the controversial peer-to-peer file-sharing network Napster to sponsor their "Back to Basics tour", advertised as a chance for fans to 'get closer to the band.

vbetts Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 If you have windows, the Zune software offers unlimited DRM free music for $15 a month. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117076-my-first-legal-song/#findComment-830108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocolateJeff Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 @ vbetts.. WOW that's actually a pretty good deal.. $15 a month for UNLIMITED music?.. what if someone downloads the whole.. like... catalog in a month? (or what if their catalog sucks ) Zune is pretty cool too btw.. I've seen one.. *my ipod screen seem so small when compared* but my ipod has a clock @ awesomo.. I salute you for having a 1:1 ratio of "legal" and "pirated" music. I share your point about greedy corporates and I highly dislike them too but that's not why I pirate.. I pirate more because ... well... I guess.. I'm pretty cheap hahaha Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117076-my-first-legal-song/#findComment-830125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
