Robertson to launch non-DRM online music store



Certain firms are doing certain things



By INQUIRER staff: Mittwoch 02 Februar 2005, 14:42



MICHAEL ROBERTSON, founder of the firm known previously as Lindows, said he is to introduce a digital music company called MP3 Tunes next week.

Robertson is set to announce the company on February 9th - it will make hardware devices, software products, and offer an online music store.



He claimed "certain market forces" were trying to drive customers away from the MP3 format towards proprietary systems. Those unnamed firms have systems "which lock out some consumers and force everyone to buy a particular company's player or software program."



He said MP3 Tunes will provide more options, compelling him to get back into the music sector.



He said that the online music store will be the first of the products the new company will offer. But, he said, MP3 Tunes will offer all tracks without digital rights management so that customers can use the music on any player or computer, make unlimited copies of songs, and burn music onto CDs.



Certainly there's a demand for this. While music companies would love people to buy the same album several times over on vinyl, on cassette, on CD, online and goodness knows in what future method, people would like to know that the digital music they've bought remains theirs, whatever the device they're using.

Hmmm....





Does anyone really believe there's a "market" for music anymore?





Do people still pay money for Music, when it's all available for free online?







Personally - I don't think so.





I think the only reason left for making Music is because you love it.





It's not something you can make a living with. Unless you busk in the Metro.
