domino Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I saw this on BBC News today so I decided to look into it. According to the main website: SpiralFrog is a new online music destination, offering ad-supported legal downloads of audio and video content licensed from the catalogs of the world’s major and independent record labels... Source: Spiral Frog Site Will this compete with pirating and the big music companies like Apple? Do you think adware will be tolerated by users? More importantly, do you think it's a viable and profitable venture?

Swad Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Interesting idea. I'd use it, but I'm pretty cheap like that. Especially if it didn't have any DRM.

domino Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 I hope they can come up with Linux and Mac versions. I rarely spend my time in Windows so it might be a let down to have to boot to windows in order to download music. Then again, momentum with Parallels and vmware is steady and I hope we can use them by January instead of having to reboot to Windows. Shouldn't be any problem in Linux/vmware though.

domino Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Well I don't think you'd like the idea that they will only allow this in Canada and USA . I read that and I figured what's the point in trying to combat piracy if they aren't trying to market this in Asia.
