I must say I find this kind of marketing ploy infuriating. As marketing ploys go, it ranks up there with "placed in file cabinet in locked room in basement. Sign on door: Beware of Leopard". Having the cook track only available on a site in a language only known by a minority of Oldfield fans, with an online payment scheme that does not work, is not the best way to try to sell something. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Oct. 24 2005, 13:27 Is there actually such a thing as a DRM'ed MP3? I did not think it was technically possible (just as a DRM'ed .txt file is not possible in the Windoes world). -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

arron11196 Group: Members Posts: 826 Joined: April 2005 Posted: Oct. 24 2005, 15:24 I can't, I'm in university halls and they block P2P. Apparently so RE the DRM'ed MP3 - they ask for my Media Player to be updated to a DRM manager version.   -------------- Arron J Eagling Everyone's interpretation is different, and everyone has a right to that opinion.

arron11196 Group: Members Posts: 826 Joined: April 2005 Posted: Oct. 25 2005, 01:45 But how would you feed it? Where would you keep it?

arron11196 Group: Members Posts: 826 Joined: April 2005 Posted: Oct. 25 2005, 11:58 That's the one I was talking about. They require me to individualise my Media Player, something which I am not prepared to do. I won't even listen to the file in MP, I use Winamp. -------------- Arron J Eagling Everyone's interpretation is different, and everyone has a right to that opinion.

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Oct. 25 2005, 12:25 Thanks Richard - though when I click on that link, I just get a blank page. However, I don't think I'd be prepared to despangulate my media player either - whatever that means. Back to top
