It looks like Walmart has soft-launched it’s DRM-free MP3 store. The company decided to ditch its DRM approach, but then got into hot water with consumers once they figured out that Walmart was going to be taking down the servers they used to manage all the DRM rights. No servers, meant that they wouldn’t be able to listen to the songs they had legally purchased. So Walmart had to reverse course and is now keeping those servers up. I love it. DRM servers are already a legacy technology. (They should just swap all of their previous customer’s DRM songs for new MP3 versions).
Anyway, the MP3 store is now up without any announcement that I could find. Did they change the look? I seem to remember it being a little different. Come on, it’s okay to admit you shop for MP3s at Walmart. I do. Each song is five cents cheaper there!
Little late to the game aren’t they?
I’d do anything to get out of the grasp of Steve Jobs and the frustrating, memory-sucking beast he calls iTunes. Even shop at Walmart.
By all means, try http://www.amazonmp3.com
walmart can jiggle my babyholders…lol
I don’t get this. Didn’t myspace make music free? If you have to pay for music aren’t you already using itunes or some phone interface? Or is Walmart going to flex its muscles and do the whole exclusive type deal with Artists? Only get it at Walmart type deal.
Hey Walmart how about non edited music since this isnt in the stores but being so online just a thought ?
