Buy? The Factory CD in drive
Is this just greed of the Music Industry or Stupidity?
Insert a factory pressed CD into the drive and play (NOT RIP) in Media player. Move Mouse over the Album art in the Play List and up comes a "Buy" button. What the F is this thing in my drive, A turnip? The law says *I* can play this thing as many times as *I* can until it is worn out. I have 40 year old Vinyl, never once did my Turntable pop a message that said "Buy" for that disc that was on the platter.

The truly sad part of the whole DRM thing, is, the only media files
protected by DRM are the ones purchased legally. In other words, the pirates are being rewarded because their illegal copies don't contain the restrictions of how/when/where/how many times you play your copy of Muskrat Love.

But I already have that on Vinyl AND I can legally copy that to any other media for my own use (MP3 for Walking, CD for the Car) and the glorious, Popup Free Vinyl for *my* Audio room. Lets hear it for the Captain!

I wish I could listen to anything...
Vista reports my driver is current and the most up to date...no yellow exclamation marks in Device Driver... Can getting sound out of Vista really be this problematic??? What the heck has the Vista team been doing???? I still need drivers for my DesignJet printers...this is STOOPID!!!!!!!! "Steve Urbach" wrote: On Mon, 18 Sep 2006 13:08:21 -0400, "Mark D.

Vista may have the latest available driver. The rest is up to the hardware
manufacturer. Some release beta drivers (eg NVidia, Realtek) and many others don't. "Pete" wrote in message ... I wish I could listen to anything...
