Buying Music Online

Posted by Neil Crosby on September 6, 2005 03:23 PM

Well, that’s another of my 101 things knocked off the list. This morning I finally bought some digital music online via the iTunes Music Store. It was nice and easy and downloaded quite happily onto my computer. Now, I’m presuming that it is still technically possible for me to strip the DRM from it so that I can MP3ise it in the same way as it used to be. I’d just kind of like to listen to the music that I’ve purchased on the MP3 player which I use, you see.

In other listy news, my waistband is still hovering around the 40” mark. It’s stable, and I have lost weight, but my new 40” jeans are still a bit too snug for me to say that I’ve achieved the goal of getting down to a 40” waist yet. Soon, hopefully. I am now well and truly able to drink Diet Coke with Lemon without thinking it’s evil - surely soon I’ll be able to do the same with normal Diet Coke.

The last few days have been spent completely updating my CV and applying for jobs. I am now registered at monster and have found a few good jobs to apply to on there. I’m also registered at linkedIn, so if you are too please let me know!

If you enjoyed reading this and would like other people to read it as well, please add it to del.icio.us, digg or furl.

If you really enjoyed what you just read, why not buy yourself something from Amazon? You get something nice for yourself, and I get a little bit of commission to pay for servers and the like. Everyone's a winner!

    Thanks Stewart - I couldn’t for the life of me remember what it was called!

    In related news (yes I stole this link from Slashdot) - the EFF have a guide to DRM and music. Helpfully they have links to sites where you can buy DRM-free music
