Microsoft Ad: It Costs $30,000 to Fill iPod

[neiroatopelcc]

So 120GB music costs 30K ? How much more does it cost when you get fined for the tracks you failed to purchase prior to aquiring?

ps. subscription based is the way to go. My parents are offered that as a standard feature in their internet service. Sadly that isn't available on my company paid one. But then I've got my own ways to aquire things.

This is really stupid marketing. I still have an old 60Gb iPod, full, and cost to fill it= $0.

All I have to say is download all you want from the Zune Marketplace then run those songs through Sound Taxi and batta bing batta boom you have DRM free music.

I still buy CDs. The thing you will get with CDs and legally downloaded music is guaranteed quality.

I've stopped buying cds. When you pay for online downloads you'll find a much higher bitrate available than what is on your cd. I only buy stuff that doesn't have drm though, so it's a bit limited.

Example please

example of bitrate or drm free stuff?

 

[dimar]

Please correct me if I'm wrong at any point. Regular audio CD bitrate is 1411kb/s. If you download a higher bitrate than CDA, it must be created from the original high definition masters. Please show me a site like that. I'll definitely buy some. Well... I did heard of ripping vinyls at 192Khz with a crazy bitrate. Is this what you're talking about?

May 2008 I bought an album from Lafee (german band) from lafee.de - drm free mp3 with a bitrate of 320Kbit - as opposed to under 200 from a simple cd. I don't know the herz stuff you're talking about, but I know 320 is higher than 200, and I know that my pioneer speakers in the car treat it differently, though I can't say exactly what is different - the overall result just is.

(winamp was playing that when I replied - don't remember exactly what else I bought where)
