I was going to download the War Child Music album, but those jokers at 7 Digital are behind this. So it’s WMA files (that I can’t play on my computer) with DRM.
IDIOTS.
It says
Tracks are available in MP3, WMA and AAC formats so they will work with any computer or portable player.
But I can’t find links to MP3 or even AAC formats anywhere. Read the small print.
This service works on PC or Mac (* only selected tracks).
PC requirements: running Windows 98 or above with Windows Media Player 9 or above.
What a load of bollocks. This is like Oxfam selling a cardigan wrapped in cellophane that you can’t take off. I’ll just have to wait for the CD release, or just not bother at all.
Weird! Cat bought the Manics track, and it seemed to come up fine, download as WMA, AAC or MP3. Did you actually try *buying* the track to be presented with the download options?
