MP3's are EVIL, she says:

And she's also into some Apple bashing, saying that the
iPod really ought to be compatible with Microsoft's Janus
DRM. And it is pretty obvious why when you see she is now
employed by Microsoft (MSN Music, I believe):

West Hollywood, CA | Ouch ! From The Associated Press
"Yahoo Inc.'s steeply discounted foray into online music subscriptions struck a sour note Wednesday with the shareholders of Napster Inc. and RealNetworks Inc. _ the owners of the rival services that stand to lose the most from the new competitive threat.
Napster's shares plunged $1.70, or 26.8 percent, to close at $4.65 on the Nasdaq Stock Market, where RealNetworks' shares fell $1.54, or 21.1 percent, to $5.76.
Yahoo's entrance into the music downloading business even hurt Apple Computer Inc., which runs the dominant online music store with more than 400 million songs sold since it opened two years ago.
Apple's shares fell 81 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $35.61 on the Nasdaq, even though industry analysts say the company is far less vulnerable to Yahoo's aggressive push than Napster and RealNetworks.
Yahoo's shares gained 82 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $34.88 on the Nasdaq.
Napster Chairman Chris Gorog sought to reassure investors as $69 million of his company's market value evaporated Wednesday."

| | | Why not just re-record it? Maybe it's just due to a lack of conveniance, but why not just re-record the songs as they play?
Any decent wave recording software like adobe audition (I still have the cool edit pro version) can record from the digital output of the sound chip. Just turn off any equalization, and you will get a good recording of whatever you want from these services. | |
| | | Why pay for an unfinished product? Here's a few tips if you are considering:
- Yahoo's library is missing tons of content. You'll find you can't even play many artists' newer music. Their licensing contracts with labels are far from established.
- Some CD's you can get all but one or two tracks, which is a)nnoying and b) keeps you from being able to purchase the CD at a discounted price
- Their database is corrupt. Did they say 'beta'? Consider it 'alpha' + you're paying for it. You'll find it will recommend songs/albums or play songs on Launchcast that you cannot play yourself manually - plus sometimes you can't even find that album under the artist. Other times, it may not show an album as available, but if you show unavailable albums, sometimes a few are playable. (Arggg!!!!) Why waste your time?
- Don't get me started on how immature their console is. Bugs, slow, poor organization capabilities.
This service sucks, it's way immature, the software is bloated/buggy, the database is buggy and very incomplete.
Yahoo should be sued for advertising 'unlimited' or for charging for a service which has tons of missing content, and tons of bugs.
You can probably bet that if they ever enough content enabled to customers' satisfaction, that the $5/mo will quickly increase. $5/mo is just a marketing ploy. | |
