Hi Andrea,
Good posts. Hope you don't mind, I've just rendered your links clickable and inserted line breaks. It's one of those niggles with the layout that long links end up overlapping the right-hand column. One of the interesting things about Spriral Frog is whether consumers will go for both the high-level advertising and the totally locked-down DRM (digital rights management) which I understand will be even more restrictive than iTunes (no copies whatsoever). But then, getting if for free, is anyone going to mind too much? And, of course, a failure to get the other big labels on board will be a kiss of death.
Its rubbish. If they want it to be a success they need it to be compatible! If it’s not going to be compatible with the market leaders in portable MP3 players then I don't think it will survive. People still prefer to download music illegally; it's the best and most compatible way.
Thanks for editing the links Luke. (Note taken!)
Free Music: It is all a bit suspect - surely the consumer will be paying for it somehow / somewhere / in some way?
