No Rock And Roll Fun

RECORD COMPANY ACCEPTS INEVITABLE: EMI have just signed up most of their catalogue to Wippit, the legal MP3 download service. We've not used it ourselves, but now they've got a good weight of stuff on offer we have to say their offering looks pretty good - it's a prix fixe, but GBP30 for a year of unlimited, burnable stuff seems to be pretty good value if you're the sort of person who stacks up music the way Charles Ingram stacks up tearfull court appearances. If you buy music at the rate of a song every six months, you'd probably be best off sticking with (or waiting for) iTunes, mind. We've probably missed something very fundamental that makes the system suck.
