3 edits | There is no ISP required to get free music now. The ISP issue has already been circumvented. Now you can get all the free high quality mp3's you could ever want, without an Internet connection, and to top it off its quite legal. We should actually thank the RIAA for giving us the technology to do so. In their never ending greed, they promoted the idea of broadcasting digital CD quality sound over radio station signals with advanced text embedding that makes RBDS look like garbage, its now known as HD Radio. Hoping to capitalize on increased listeners and the ad revenue that resulted, they have heavily promoted HD Radio technology all across America, they even got the FCC to mandate the technology.
But, they made a big mistake thinking they could prevent recording the digital broadcast with a software system that takes full advantage of the embedded text (an automated mp3 generator). The RIAA along with the inventors of HD Radio, Ibiquity, had effectively prevented any PC card or USB based HD Radio tuner from ever being sold in order to prevent this nightmare scenario from happening. It was just a matter of time before someone found a way to interface an existing HD Radio receiver to a PC, and their hopes for aversion came crashing down. |
