Well, and then of course there is the eye.fi. SD card with Wifi uploader. No need for USB at all, hehe. http://www.eye.fi/

The deeper issue Clay might be addressing is not so much the self-expression (wiki's) or even the need to interactivity ("where's the mouse"). The issue seems to be the slow awakening from mind-numbing brain-slushing. Been there, done that. Personally, I can't wait to see that happen more and more. Yes, it is a personal choice, but social interactions, at least for some, and especially teenagers, make them almost HAVE to watch the crap that is poored over all our heads. Thumbs up.

Dear Ken (#6), as you are well aware of, imslp has been shut down by the music lover running it, taking away 20.0000 scores of classical music. Thank you. And to others, please DO follow the link mr. Clark posted. While UA claims complete cordiality in this matter, you will find the C&D letter by mr. Clark is simply that.

Just sent this mail to DDG:

I congratulate DGG with the new website, enabling us classical music lovers to finally purchase music in a format playable in my car or portable player. Thank you far making this bold and much needed step.

That being said it is beyond me why I, as a European citizen, would have to pay aprx 50% more for the same, worldwide available track than i.e. a US citizen. This will again, after the coplete failure of DRM, enstrange your customers.

Me, I would be inclined to have a friend make my purchases, pay him with paypal and send me the downloaded tracks. And of course being honest people, not wanting to rip off record companies, especially as they provide us with beautiful classical music, he would not retain a copy for himself wouldn't he? Well. Anyway.

I did register, I did want to buy a specific CD, the price is not unreasonable, even in Euro's, but I won't take this insane approach. Please delete my account jmeijer@notice.nu. And please let me know when this, excusemy choice of words, insane policy has changed, I would love to start buying at DGG.

With kind regards,
