Hi, you're listening to Hacker Public Radio.
|
||||
I'm 330 and this is Copy Fight.
|
||||
As most of you may know, Yahoo's DRM music store is being killed due to a lack of interest.
|
||||
So Yahoo's offering coupons for real network extravcity und DRM music store.
|
||||
And this got me wondering, what are people going to do if Apple shuts down the fair play
|
||||
servers?
|
||||
Or if any of the myriad of other DRM music stores ever shut down?
|
||||
What if the other stores don't offer you a rebate of any kind?
|
||||
And just how many people could this affect?
|
||||
If Apple ever stopped issuing keys for its fair play DRM, then just like Yahoo and MSN
|
||||
users, iTunes users would be prevented from moving their music to different machines
|
||||
or devices.
|
||||
That would affect most of the 5 billion songs that Apple has sold.
|
||||
So what do you do if you're trapped in this predicament?
|
||||
Well really, the best way to not be trapped into DRM is to never start into it.
|
||||
There are plenty of legal ways to get digital music.
|
||||
To keep from having to do the steps described later in this podcast, you should look into
|
||||
DRM free stores.
|
||||
Off the top of my head, I can think of Amazon's MP3 store, Rhapsody, Magnetune, E-Music,
|
||||
and Gemendo.
|
||||
If you know of any others, please leave them in the comments.
|
||||
Please know that the rest of this episode may have suggestions that are illegal in your
|
||||
area.
|
||||
Please follow these instructions at your own risk.
|
||||
If you don't know what DRM scheme is used to restrict you, you can burn off the tracks
|
||||
to CD and the CDA format.
|
||||
CDA is the way that press CDs come from the store.
|
||||
After you burn the tracks to CD and CDA format, you can re-rip the tracks back to the
|
||||
track on your computer.
|
||||
This method really sucks because then you have to tag all the tracks yourself, but for
|
||||
most this really won't be necessary.
|
||||
The most common DRM scheme is Microsoft's place for sure.
|
||||
But what if place for sure isn't really for sure?
|
||||
Well then you can download Fair Use for WM.
|
||||
There's a link in the show notes.
|
||||
I personally have never used this app, but it comes highly recommended and now supports
|
||||
the new Zoon Marketplace tracks.
|
||||
If you're an iTunes prisoner and you're on Windows, there's some really good news.
|
||||
Janjo Hansen, also known as DVD John, has created an app called Double Twist.
|
||||
Double Twist will go through your library and quote, unquote, liberate your iTunes library.
|
||||
It only works with music as far as I know.
|
||||
And not, you know, the movies and the TV shows and all that that are available in iTunes.
|
||||
He's working on that.
|
||||
It is stupidly easy to set up though.
|
||||
All you do is go to doubletwist.com, click on the download button and follow the directions
|
||||
that are on that page.
|
||||
It will require a .NET framework, but Windows should resolve that dependency for you.
|
||||
The one thing to remember is that if you buy DRM free the first time, you won't have
|
||||
to go through these legally questionable steps to liberate your music collection.
|
||||
