Well I'm sure glad I didn't spend $400 on an MP3 jukebox !
What about that whole aspect of the debate?
There are products being sold on the market today for playing MP3's.
If CD's are built to disable this then isn't it disabling another sector of the marketplace as well? Are we to assume that the only people creating MP3's are those with 'original content'. Could they fill up 2gigs on a jukebox with it?
WTF?
What's the point?
Personally, although I love the access to such a wide range of music I'm getting really sick of the lack of fidelity in a 128kbps MP3. It does not sound rich. It sounds dull. To me it is just a high-quality preview. If I actually like the album I'll just go out and buy it.

Well, they're either poorly mastered or copy protected. They won't rip well
at all or even track for playing on the cd-rom. Some great stuff on the
label, btw.
