Not wanting to start up the whole copyright / file sharing argument, but I think that it sucks that I can buy digital media - won't call it a CD because it doesn't follow Phillips definition of AUdio CD - and can't then rip it to MP3 without it having skips, jumps, glitches etc in it.

They want me to go to www.musicfromemi.com to pay and d/l a glitch free version which is then restricted to copying 3 times to MP3 player or CD.

So potentially you could buy a CD with 10 songs on it for say AUD$30 and then if you wanted portable versions of the songs you need to pay another 10 x AUD$1.99 to d/l them.

They as may well be done with it and stop pressing CDs and make you d/l everything off the Internet

I actually managed to get round it through a conveluted way.

I can understand why they are doing it but..............
