On a related note, I’m willing to bet that a lot of the music in this category in either store was made before 1928, and therefore is already in the public domain and legal to share.

That will be another major flop!

Not only there is this DRM crap but why do they thing the Classical listener use computer or even MP3?

Classical is very demanding on the equipment and classical listener such as me demand an high level of sound quality. Mp3 might be ok for britney slut stuff but for classical it does not cut it!

Try to play an MP3 file on a full size stereo!

Yes there are the bass and medium and bass but every thing is muddy! With mp3 we lose the transition!

Acually,although way better than MP3, CD does not totally cut it compare to alnalog recording because the sound is kind of harsh. The bit sampling resolution of CDs is too low.

The advantage of CD is lower background noise and higher dynamic but it sound kind of harsh!

Beside Vivendique are the main instigator of the law suits against the people So Vivendi this is my message you are a pack of parasites and I will never I mean never buy anything from you again! Never!

Once we are done with you wer will dance on your ruin!

Here’s the license
Unless stated otherwise you will receive three licences per year for every track you purchase. This allows you to move your music onto a new PC or use the music on a re-installed PC. Each licence will allow you to burn the track to CD 10 times and transfer the track 25 times to a compatible portable player. Tracks can be played an unlimited number of times on your PC.

So they’re getting there and have the right idea. They just need to drop the price, get rid of the DRM, offer alternate encodings and digitise their whole back catalogue.
