Yep, mp3's with be proprietary soon. Ditch'm while you can, get convert your files to Ogg Vorbis, and start downloading those instead.
For those of you that don't know, Ogg Vorbis is an Open Source sound format, very similar to mp3. The quality is the same, if not better than mp3, and the file size is smaller. And since it's Open Source, no one will be fucking with it, ever!
I'll put it bluntly. Unless the record companies can pull some MAJOR strings, they can only survive if they adapt themselves to the advent of MP3. They shalt fail otherwise, IMO.

You have to think that all of this probably wouldn't've happened if the CDs were priced reasonably in the first place. Because they are so outrageously expensive, though, people were glad to be able to get the music for free. Sure, even if the CDs were less some people would've done MP3s, but not nearly as many.
My only hope out of all of this is that the record companies would learn their lesson and cut prices! $20 is far too much to spend on a piece of plastic worth 35 cents.
I'll go far enough to point out that game shows are now giving away MP3 players. Example: the new Press Your Luck (called Whammy); they give away a $300 (I think) MP3 player. That is how much of a household word the term MP3 has become.

I have no sympathy for the industry that created boy bands. The sooner the record companies go out of business, the sooner art can flourish.
Dumb fools, they are trying to corner the I-net market by charging form somthing that is already free, also, you can get them for free off those sites as they allow you to listen to them, therefore you just copy it from the temp directory....
