According to a post on the BBC news web site (view it here<\/a>) software has been developed that allows people to use songs downloaded on Itunes away from their Ipod and onto other players (Creative, Sony, etc).<\/p>\n

This in a addition to\u00a0a post on\u00a0the SBSDIVA<\/a>\u00a0site where she rants about not being about to sync’d her Ipod from multiple locations caught my interest.<\/p>\n

I never quite realised how restrive owning an Ipod was.<\/p>\n

Reason being i dont own an Ipod and i dont plan to buy one. I just have a generic player that also doubles up as a USB pen drive! It means i can use it for work and pleasure. It’s one gig and holds enough music for occasions i’d need music on the go.<\/p>\n

I also don’t buy music online. I prefer to buy the CD (i’m a hoarder…i collect things so i need the CD) and then transfer into digital format.<\/p>\n

I have purchased online music a couple of times and the experience put me off. It was for a family member (mother in law to be precise) who was trying to track down a song and i helpfully suggested i’d locate it online for her. I did this from my PC at work with the idea of transferring it to my laptop where i would then transfer it to her PC at a later date (this was before i had my pen drive!). My concern was when the site (and windows media player) started to mention licenses. It wasn’t made clear to me about transfer rights and i didn’t know if the file i had downloaded could move between those three computers. I eventually managed to get it all figured out and she had her track and was perfectly happy with it.<\/p>\n

What struck me after was what if she’d try to do that on her own? There is lots of publicity on how easy it is to download music nowadays and i completely agree but if i got confused with it when i use computers everyday how would she have got on when she still struggles with backing up her work data to a CD? I have lots of computers and devices i want my music to work with.<\/p>\n

Why is it so complicated to do?<\/p>\n

The music industry want us to buy music legally, which they have a right to. But if they make it so we can’t use it quickly and easily how can they expect people to stop using “other” methods to obtain digital music?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
