And by using WMA, the music will be locked to the PC that you download it to. No CD's for the car, home stereo or other computers.

No thanks...

WMA isn't popular with the corporate's because it's good, it's popular because it let's them control how YOU listen to the music you so-called purchased.

I'll stick with MP3.

I totally disagreee. WMA is a superior format compared to MP3. It *sounds* better. You can rip CD's to your hearts content and you do not have to protect your content such that you can only play them on one device. Cut the "Sky is Falling" argument crap. Until MS makes it so that your fears are realized then I would shut up. Potentially sure they *could* restrict the format in such a way that I would not like it. But then again I *could* come to your house and steal everything you own. Chances either will happen? Slim to none.

#7 Use what you like, fair enough. I like WMA because I think it retains more of the original music than MP3. To me MP3's don't sound right. To me that is the key feature that I am looking for in my digital music format.

Totally agree that MS was late to the scene. But they were late with Windows, late to the internet, late to pocket devices, etc . . .

Argue as some may the best product wins.

Realist - You are confusing copy protection with DRM. They aren't the same.

Copy protection is what Columbia and a few others are talking about, and is totally wrong. It breaks the CD spec and will cause problems for legitimate buyers. Bad idea.

DRM is something different, and I really don't care about it. I do think that if a company wants to provide some sort of streaming audio or video to the public that they should be able to do so in a format which is not easily reproduced en masse.

Now whether I am going to pay for media provided in this manner is another question, and one that is totally up to *my* wallet.

I guess this DRM thing is an irrelevant argument. Without the ability, MP3 is not going to compete in the market. Since Real, Quicktime and Windows Media all allow for easy streaming of media without easy copying, any one of them wins over MP3 as far as the media producer is concerned.

If you want DRM to fail, the only way to influence that decision is to not take advantage of DRM enabled media. The interchange format used is irrelevant to the discussion. If you really want DRM to succeed then pirate more music as it will help give ammunition to it's proponents as to why it is needed.

#7 - That's great. And WMA provides the same... ease of use, mobility and functionality as well as better sound.

But when these arguments against WMA boil down to "WMA supports DRM, so therefore it is evil" it is not a leap of logic to understand these children are Napster raised music thieves.

DRM is different from CD copy protection. I am totally against CD copy protection because it's sole impact is on the legitimate buyer of music. If I buy a CD and can't play it on my existing equipment, that CD is faulty.

ssfreitas - MP3 is *NOT* an open standard, it's a licensed format from Fraunhofer.

Try your argument again, only this time with some facts to support your conviction.


#7 By 135 (209.180.28.6) at 2/11/2002 4:29:41 PM
ssfreitas - Well by your own definitions then, WMA is a standard.

BTW, you wanted one player... Musicmatch. There are others.


#8 By 116 (66.68.170.138) at 2/11/2002 5:03:53 PM
Lets see what players create WMA files . . . SoundForge, WMP, MusicMatch, Premiere . . . just to get you started. What plays WMA files? Just about every player I know of does. I can take my WMA's and burn them onto CD's making them Audio CD's with Roxio Easy CD Creator and Ahead Nero, the manufacturers of the most popular burning software. I have a car WMA player that plays wma cd's. My pocket pc plays my wma's.

Windows Media is streamed on a variety of different websites including msnbc, espn, msn etc . . .

Windows Media is a pretty standard format. Try a different argument buddy.

#9 By 116 (66.68.170.138) at 2/11/2002 5:59:05 PM
You can stream over 128KBps line. It definitely won't be as good as if you had more bandwith granted. In your quote I would point out:

"Microsoft's first priority is broadband -- or Net access speeds of at least 128 kilobits per second for the average Web surfer."

At least being the operative word here. I think you misread this...


#10 By 116 (66.68.170.138) at 2/11/2002 6:00:05 PM
You weren't being a hardass. You just didn't know, no big deal.

#11 By 2459 (66.25.124.8) at 2/11/2002 9:31:14 PM
I wonder what the argument against using WMA/WMV will be after "Corona" ships.

n4cer - How about "You don't need a lime?"

#13 By 1845 (12.254.163.35) at 2/12/2002 1:13:15 AM
I couldn't care less about the iPod. I have about a gig of ripped CD's in WMA on my laptop and it suits me quite well.

"WMA just doesn't seem right at higher bit rates" What does that mean anyway?

#14 By 2960 (156.80.64.157) at 2/12/2002 1:36:08 PM
Stubear,

That's not the point. The owner of the IP CAN lock you down if they wish.

You just chooe not to lock yourself down. Obviously :)
