non-DRM stores

29. October 2006

In reply to Rodney’s post:

I pointed to akuma as a non-DRM store last time. They save see music as mp3 you downloaded an you can restore it ONCE. To protect their mp3s they add a watermark.

But it may have some disadvantages (for you):
– It’s in german (though you can pay by paypal for example)
– They don’t have all and every music availible

The second issue is due to the fact that the big labels like Sony and BMG simply do not allow selling their music as mp3. Of course this does not mean that there is only bad music in the store, they really have a lot of good music but they don’t have the music some would call “mainstream”.
