Second Major Label Music Subscription Program One Step Closer To Reasonable
from the not-quite-there-yet dept
While there are still a ton of reason why I don't think Pressplay is a good idea, I have to admit it sounds better than RealNetworks' RealOne. Pressplay will actually allow you to burn CDs from the music you download, and will allow for some limited sharing. I'm sure the CD burning is somehow limited as well - so there's still going to be an annoyance factor. However, at least it's not as useless as RealOne. By the way, if you haven't figured realized just how awful RealOne is, you can read about how RealOne is Real Bad here.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
