First of all congratulations to Warp for giving this venture a try. I
believe that Warp is taking a first step into the right direction in
distributing music over the internet. iTunes has been on the block for a
while now but I for one will not buy into ANY sort of DRM scheme period!
Why on earth anybody would pay for music that is worse than CD quality and
severely restricts the end-users usage is beyond me. Kudos to Warp for
keeping the content DRM free. Now to the bad news. Warp is more than
misleading with their statements in the FAQ. Bleep.com is not the only
store offering high quality MP3 files over the net. In fact allofmp3.com
has probably the best quality music files for purchase at the moment. On
the fly encoding, MP3 up to 384kb/sec, lame standard, extreme and insane,
AAC, MPC, WMA, OGG they got it all. And the price is certainly
unbelievable too. A mere $5 for 500mb. I could download all the Autechre
CDs they have for five bucks.
Nonetheless I appreciate Warps efforts and hope this venture will work out
for them.
